The Price of Smiles
On a planet far, far away from Earth, there reigns a kingdom overflowing with smiles.
Princess Yuki is twelve years old and beginning to ride the roller coaster of emotions that comes with adolescence. Each day brings with it tears, laughter, and even a little romance. The palace is full of fun, and the vassals who serve her there add color to her life.
Seventeen-year-old Stella is a brilliant warrior. Even though she is cool as a cucumber, she never fails to smile. That's because smiling is essential to life.
This is a story about two girls born on a distant planet.

[00:02] Yuki
This is a tale of a girl born
on a planet far, far away.
[00:25] Joshua
I was wondering where
I might find you, Princess Yuki.
[00:32] Yuki
Joshua!
[00:33] Joshua
The time has come.
You should begin the preparations.
[00:41] Joshua
Ow!
[00:41] Yuki
Quit acting all cool. It's not like you.
[00:44] Yuki
Don't tell me you're nervous.
[00:46] Joshua
I beg your pardon.
[00:48] Joshua
It's not like you to be scared, either!
[00:52] Yuki
H-How rude!
[00:54] Yuki
I'm not the slightest bit nervous...
[00:57] Joshua
Don't worry.
[00:59] Joshua
Miss Layla and I will be with you.
[01:01] Joshua
Right?
[01:03] Yuki
Yes!
[01:09] Joshua
You sure have grown, Yuki.
[01:12] Yuki
Thank you.
[01:14] Yuki
You're still really short, though, Joshua.
[01:17] Yuki
Even though you're 15,
[01:18] Yuki
you should be all grown up, right?
[01:20] Joshua
Yeah, yeah.
[01:21] Joshua
If you can still insult me
like that, you must be fine.
[01:43] Layla
Magnificent.
[01:45] Layla
You've memorized the words
of the ceremony, then?
[01:48] Yuki
Y-Yes, Miss Layla!
[01:51] Layla
Good. Then let us proceed.
[02:24] Joshua
Were you injured, Princess Yuki?
[02:27] Yuki
N-No! I'm fine.
[02:31] Yuki
I'm totally—
[02:36] Yuki
Th-Thank you...
[02:42] Yuki
Um... U-Um...
[02:45] Joshua
Passion and will, Yuki.
[02:49] Joshua
Everyone's waiting to hear from you.
[02:51] Joshua
Go on and nail it.
[02:59] Yuki
People of the Special State of Hariant,
home of our royal family.
[03:03] Yuki
I am grateful that you all
came here for me today.
[03:09] Yuki
I have turned twelve years old today.
[03:13] Yuki
I vow to assume more responsibility
[03:16] Yuki
and guide you all to ever greater prosperity!
[03:29] Yuki
Kingdom of Soleil, be eternal!
[03:32] All
Be eternal!
[03:41] Layla
It was a questionable start,
but you recovered well.
[03:45] Layla
Well done, Your Highness.
[03:49] Yuki
Thank you, everyone!

And now, our next story.
[03:57] News
The government has announced that
a new kind of chrars in development
[04:00] News
has reached the practical utility stage.
[04:05] Court
Princess Yuki, happy birthday.
[04:08] Court
To celebrate your special day.
[04:10] Yuki
Yes, I leave it in your hands.
[04:13] Court
Princess Yuki.
[04:14] Court

[04:15] Court
Princess Yuki.

In your hands!
[04:23] Yuki
I'm exhausted!
[04:24] Joshua
Things certainly seem more
prosperous this year.
[04:28] Layla
They've likely heard the rumors
of the new chrars,
[04:31] Layla
and are all eager to
get it for their own domain.
[04:36] Joshua
A new chrars?
[04:39] Yuki
Then why don't we send each
of them a little sample?
[04:42] Yuki
Is it ready for that yet, Miss Layla?
[04:44] Layla
Its development status was in
the report compiled by Advisor Izana.
[04:49] Yuki
I-I couldn't finish it...
[04:51] Yuki
I was just so focused on my
speech for the ceremony...
[04:54] Layla
I will no longer treat you as a child.
[04:57] Layla
From now on, you must earnestly
engage in the business of rule.
[05:02] Yuki
What's this?
[05:03] Layla
Today's assignments.
[05:05] Layla
Revised budget for the term, drafts of
legislative revisions, and related materials.
[05:11] Layla
Look through all of them by this evening,
and mark them approved.
[05:13] Yuki
No way! My fingerprint will be worn off!
[05:16] Layla
And as of this afternoon,
you'll be participating in parliament.
[05:18] Layla
Please finish your lunch by two o'clock.
[05:23] Joshua
C-C'mon, Miss Layla's only thinking of you...
[05:27] Yuki
Joshua!
[05:30] Joshua
Seriously, Yuki?
[05:32] Yuki
Indulge me! We'll be back with time to spare!
[05:46] Yuki
Father, Mother...
[05:49] Yuki
Are you watching me?
[05:51] Yuki
I'm twelve years old now.
[05:54] Yuki
I'm all grown up, see?
[05:55] Yuki
So don't worry about anything.
[05:57] Yuki
I'm going to do this right.
[05:59] Yuki
I'll see my princess duties
through and make you proud.
[06:07] Yuki
So please, watch over me from heaven!
[06:12] Joshua
I'll be here to keep Princess Yuki safe.
[06:17] Kid
Huh?
[06:18] Kid
Hey, that lady looks like Princess Yuki!
[06:21] Kid
Let's go look!
[06:23] Kid
Yeah!
[06:24] Joshua
That's not good!
[06:25] Joshua
We have to leave!
[06:37] Joshua
Hold perfectly still. Don't move.
[06:43] Joshua
They're gone.
[06:45] Yuki
Y-Yeah...
[06:47] Joshua
Okay, let's get back to the palace—
[06:49] Voice
Your opponent is requesting a match.
[06:51] Voice
Will you join the battle?
[06:54] Yuki
A theurgear game?
[06:55] Joshua
Looks like it. Let's go.
[06:57] Voice
Beat ten opponents in a row and win a prize.
[07:00] Yuki
Joshua!
[07:02] Yuki
Please!
[07:04] Spectator
This one's pretty good.
[07:06] Spectator
He's almost to nine in a row!
[07:10] Joshua
Passion and will!
[07:11] Yuki
Get 'em, Joshua!
[07:14] Harold
He never does fight pretty, does he?
[07:16] Yuni
And he calls himself a
member of the Royal Order?
[07:22] Joshua
Heck yeah!
[07:23] Joshua
Just one more to go!
[07:25] Yuki
Go get 'em, Joshua!
[07:27] Yuni
Joshua Ingram of the Order.
[07:29] Yuni
Lone son of the venerable Ingram family.
[07:33] Yuni
You expect to protect Princess Yuki
with such meager talents?
[07:38] Joshua
Who are you?!
[07:38] Voice
Fight!
[07:45] Harold
So close, yet so far.
[07:51] Izana
We have a last-minute change to the agenda.
[07:54] Izana
Let us first examine the report from
Grand Master Harold Miller of the Royal Order.
[07:59] Harold
Secret talks with the Empire of Grandiga
[08:01] Harold
took place three days ago
near the Wister border.
[08:06] Yuki
What did they have to say?
[08:09] Harold
They seem amicable.
[08:11] Harold
We should be able to renew
the non-aggression pact without issue.
[08:16] Yuki
Excellent work.
[08:17] Yuki
Oh, right, Harold.
[08:19] Yuki
Pass these on, won't you?
[08:22] Yuki
They're the birthday presents
everyone brought for me.
[08:26] Yuki
Unlike our kingdom, I hear
that the Empire has poor soil,
[08:30] Yuki
and that the people there are struggling.
[08:34] Harold
Indeed...
[08:35] Yuki
Please offer them these gifts
as a token of our friendship.
[08:39] Yuni
If I may be so bold,
could I make one comment?
[08:43] Yuki
What is it?
[08:44] Yuni
Your Highness, just what
do you think the Empire is?
[08:49] Yuki
They're our neighboring country.
[08:51] Yuki
You're supposed to help your neighbors
when they're struggling, aren't you?
[08:54] Yuki
We need to get along.
[08:56] Yuni
One more question, then.
[08:57] Yuni
What do you think of
the state of this country?
[09:02] Yuni
The monarchy was adopted as a necessary evil
[09:05] Yuni
when our ancestors first came to this planet.
[09:07] Yuni
The environment was still
unforgiving back then,
[09:09] Yuni
and the people sought a symbol
to give them strength.
[09:13] Yuni
But now, we have strong roots in this world.
[09:18] Yuni
The monarchy is a relic of the past.
[09:20] Yuni
Some might say that
it is no longer necessary.
[09:23] Yuni
We will manage the negotiations
with the Empire.
[09:26] Yuni
Kindly stay quiet and let us do our jobs.
[09:28] Joshua
You! How dare you insult the princess?!
[09:37] Yuki
Who are you?
[09:39] Yuni
Yuni Vanquish.
[09:40] Yuni
I serve the margrave of the State of Wister.
[09:44] Yuki
Yuni, I understand why
you feel the way you do,
[09:48] Yuki
but as a member of the royal family,
[09:51] Yuki
and as the daughter of my
late father and mother,
[09:53] Yuki
there are things on which
I will not compromise.
[09:56] Yuki
I want to make everyone in this kingdom—
[09:58] Yuki
to make everyone on this planet smile.
[10:01] Yuki
To accomplish that, I think there
must be things that only I can do.
[10:06] Yuni
And what are those?
[10:07] Yuki
Oh, I actually don't know yet!
[10:10] Yuki
You'll help me think of them,
won't you, Yuni?
[10:14] Yuki
Hey, what kind of place
is the State of Wister?
[10:18] Yuki
I've never left the city!
[10:25] Yuni
I respect your decision, Your Highness.
[10:30] Yuni
I apologize for my insolence.
[10:32] Harold
I must apologize,
[10:34] Harold
and I ask that you forgive her, for my sake.
[10:36] Lune
"Put Princess Yuki's character to the test."
[10:40] Lune
That was the order we
received from our master.
[10:44] Yuki
Oh, it's no problem.
[10:47] Yuki
Are you...
[10:48] Lune
Indeed, I am Yuni's twin brother.
[10:51] Lune
My name is Lune Vanquish.
[10:53] Lune
I brought them to the
capital at my discretion.
[10:56] Lune
I believe their piloting skills are a
match for any member of the Order.
[11:01] Yuki
Isn't that just great, Joshua?
[11:04] Joshua
Yes.
[11:09] Harold
Don't you do anything besides work?
[11:12] Harold
Come out with us for once.
[11:14] Harold
You haven't paid a proper visit
back home either, have you?
[11:17] Harold
Think about your poor wife.
[11:18] Izana
Don't worry about me.
[11:20] Izana
You should focus on teaching
your subordinates some manners.
[11:24] Harold
Joshua wasn't happy, was he?
[11:28] Izana
Of course he wasn't.
[11:29] Izana
He and Princess Yuki practically
grew up as brother and sister.
[11:34] Izana
They both lost their parents, too.
[11:38] Izana
Twelve years ago,
[11:39] Izana
while developing the new chrars.
[11:42] Izana
That incident...
[11:44] Izana
The energy source which makes our
civilization possible, chrarslapis,
[11:48] Izana
is a special ore that can
only be found on this planet.
[11:51] Izana
The dedication of the late royal
couple to keep their people fed
[11:56] Izana
led to attempts to develop more
efficient forms of chrars.
[11:59] Izana
But...
[12:01] Harold
It's ironic.
[12:02] Harold
That hope of theirs was
the death of both of them.
[12:06] Izana
Listen, about Joshua...
[12:09] Harold
He won't listen to anything I say.
[12:12] Harold
I can't stop him.
[12:13] Izana
Harold.
[12:14] Harold
I'll fulfill my duty.
[12:18] Harold
What about you?
[12:21] Harold
How many of the new chrars can
you prepare before we head out?
[12:25] Izana
Three.
[12:26] Izana
I'll have them sent
the minute they're finished.
[12:29] Yuni
What do you want?
[12:31] Joshua
You insulted the princess—insulted Yuki.
[12:35] Joshua
I'm going to make you pay!
[12:45] Layla
I win.
[12:48] Layla
Please try a bit harder next time.
[12:50] Layla
Chess is an excellent way to
nurture strategic thinking.
[12:53] Yuki
Is that something I need?
[12:55] Layla
You are technically
the ruler of this country.
[12:58] Layla
Everything you learn will
help you in that cause.
[13:02] Yuki
Yeah, yeah...
[13:04] Izana
Princess Yuki.
[13:09] Yuni
Two against one?
[13:10] Yuni
You must not think very highly of us.
[13:12] Lune
Let's use capture the flag rules.
[13:14] Joshua
Bring it on.
[13:17] Yuki
A duel?
[13:18] Yuki
Did Joshua make the challenge?
[13:20] Izana
Yes.
[13:21] Izana
It's merely a mock battle in the simulator.
[13:23] Izana
It's part of their training, but...
[13:26] Yuki
But why would he do that?
[13:31] Harold
Good morning.
[13:32] Harold
We've prepared you a front
row seat, Your Highness.
[13:42] Yuki
Joshua...
[13:45] Joshua
If anyone hurts Yuki, I'll make them pay!
[13:49] Yuki
He's doing this for me?
[13:51] Yuni
Don't come crying to me later
if you don't like the result.
[13:54] Voice
Now displaying battlefield.
[13:56] Yuki
To...
[13:58] Layla
"Tokyo." A city located on our old homeworld.
[14:03] Yuki
It's all blocky and ugly.
[14:06] Harold
A simple explanation of the rules:
[14:08] Harold
The team that seizes the other's flag wins.
[14:11] Voice
Makeup of each team's theurgear platoon:
[14:14] Voice
One Gard.
[14:16] Voice
Two Squires.
[14:18] Voice
Two Krivanovs.
[14:20] Voice
No time limit.
[14:22] Voice
Visual range combat.
[14:24] Voice
All units except the leader unit
will be controlled remotely.
[14:28] Harold
Both sides, begin!
[14:31] Joshua
Let's go!
[14:32] Joshua
Act fast and win!
[14:34] Joshua
Follow me!
[14:39] Joshua
Let's see... leave one unit
in front of the flag...
[14:43] Joshua
And the other...
[14:45] Joshua
What a pain in the neck!
[14:51] Yuni
Three enemy units approaching.
[14:54] Yuni
Smog?
[14:55] Yuni
How by-the-book.
[14:57] Yuni
Lune, how are the traps coming?
[14:59] Lune
All in place.
[15:00] Lune
Leave it all to me.
[15:01] Yuki
Two against one?
[15:03] Yuki
That's not fair!
[15:04] Harold
That's how Joshua wanted it.
[15:06] Harold
He wants to overcome
the handicap to prove his skill.
[15:19] Joshua
Y-Yeah, that figures...
[15:22] Joshua
But I won't make it easy!
[15:44] Yuni
Two units withdrew, eh?
[15:50] Yuni
Lune, you handle things over there!
[15:59] Lune
One unit down, two to go!
[16:09] Lune
That's just one... a decoy?
[16:14] Joshua
Secret's out already?
[16:15] Joshua
Then let's go for it!
[16:18] Yuni
I anticipated this.
[16:21] Joshua
Yeah, yeah.
[16:23] Joshua
Then I'll just have to force my way through!
[16:36] Joshua
Need to get that one first...
[16:57] Joshua
M-Make it in time!
[17:03] Lune
Aside from the leader unit,
there should be two enemies left.
[17:07] Lune
Proceed with caution!
[17:09] Yuki
Darn it!
[17:09] Yuki
It's two on one!
[17:11] Yuki
I can help him, can't I?
[17:14] Harold
As you wish.
[17:15] Yuki
Joshua, can you hear me?
[17:17] Joshua
Y-Yuki?
[17:19] Yuki
Stay underground and keep moving south!
[17:21] Yuki
That should get you around behind their flag!
[17:23] Joshua
Right!
[17:24] Joshua
W-Wait, this position is perfect...
[17:27] Yuki
Perfect? For what?
[17:30] Joshua
Give me a break already!
[17:32] Yuki
I don't have a choice.
[17:33] Yuki
Harold, pull up a diagram of that building.
[17:37] Harold
As you wish, but what are you...
[17:42] Harold
I see...
[17:45] Lune
No defenses?
[17:46] Lune
No resistance, either?
[17:48] Lune
What in the...
[17:49] Yuki
Harold! Now!
[18:01] Lune
Can they do that?!
[18:03] Izana
Impossible. The flag...
[18:05] Layla
...was buried?
[18:06] Yuki
Now our opponents can't get it.
[18:07] Yuki
Problem solved, right?
[18:09] Yuki
Harold, we have one more
ally machine, don't we?
[18:13] Yuki
I'm going to use that.
[18:15] Harold
Understood.
[18:37] Yuki
Joshua, can you hear me?
[18:38] Yuki
Everything's ready up here!
[18:40] Joshua
Roger that! I'm on my way!
[18:51] Yuni
That sound...
[18:54] Yuni
What?!
[18:56] Izana
Water's flowing out from underground?
[18:58] Harold
Yes. The unit working on
its own must have set it up.
[19:03] Harold
That culvert was likely used to
channel the city's waste water.
[19:07] Harold
Joshua destroyed one of the weirs.
[19:10] Harold
The underground area quickly flooded,
[19:12] Harold
and the only way out for the water was...
[19:17] Joshua
Passion and will!
[19:21] Yuki
That's what Joshua was after?
[19:23] Harold
And you happened to tilt that
tower to a perfect angle.
[19:28] Harold
But it's no surprise you're so in sync,
seeing as you grew up together.
[19:34] Joshua
Heck yeah!
[19:44] Harold
The winner is Team Joshua.
[19:46] Harold
The training is now over.
[19:53] Layla
Are you certain about this?
[19:55] Layla
Permitting the Royal Order
to go to the border...
[19:58] Yuki
Yes.
[19:59] Yuki
Harold said we should send a delegation
to the Empire out in the open this time.
[20:05] Yuki
See?
[20:10] Yuki
See you later, Yuni, Lune!
[20:13] Joshua
Well, I should be going, too.
[20:16] Layla
Joshua is a part of the delegation, as well.
[20:20] Layla
The list was in the documents
I gave you earlier, I believe.
[20:23] Yuki
No way!
[20:24] Joshua
Yuki!
[20:31] Joshua
It's a bit belated,
[20:33] Joshua
but I wish you a very happy birthday.
[20:40] Yuki
Quit acting all cool.
[20:41] Yuki
It's not like you.
[20:43] Joshua
Hey!
[20:45] Yuki
This is an order from your princess.
[20:47] Yuki
Show her the outside world in my stead.
[20:53] Joshua
So that's the deal, is it?
[20:55] Joshua
Got it. See you soon!
[21:09] Yuki
Make us proud, Joshua!
[21:21] Yuki
Joshua...
[23:00] Bridge
We're currently passing through Hariant.
[23:03] Harold
Are you sure about this, Joshua?
[23:05] Joshua
Yes.
[23:06] Joshua
I will protect Yuki's smile...
[23:09] Joshua
with passion and will!
[23:14] Harold
This is the current state at the border.
[23:18] Harold
To spare Princess Yuki tremendous heartache,
[23:20] Harold
we need to settle this ourselves.

Let's go.
[01:36] aud
We're arriving in the theater of operations.
[01:38] aud
All units deploy.
[02:02] aud
Dracorn Unit, Monocherous Unit,
take the right wing.
[02:04] aud
Gigarth Unit, Fantazma Unit,
take the left wing and fan out.
[02:07] aud
Dracorn, roger that.

Monocherous, roger that.
[02:09] aud
Gigarth, roger that.
[02:10] aud
Fantazma, roger that.

Pegasus Unit, vanguard. Lead the Chranio

Deploying fifteen-car infantry
company to act as reserves.
[02:38] ian
Reporting five enemy carriers.
[02:40] ian
We believe it to be
the Imperial 8th Area Army.
[02:45] james
There's no place more crucial to
national defense than northern Wister.
[02:50] james
This is the only route by which the Empire
can mount a land invasion on a massive scale.
[02:55] har
The large canyons throughout the wasteland
provide a natural stronghold,
[03:00] har
so the enemy has merely been
biding their time until now.
[03:03] har
If they manage to break through,
[03:04] har
the war will spread quickly
throughout the kingdom.
[03:07] har
We're at a critical moment.
[03:08] james
Main cannons, fire!
[03:17] josh
Keep calm.
[03:18] josh
Just do it like in training.
[03:20] josh
Stay strong, Joshua Ingram!

Joshua's not picking up!

Of course he isn't.

It's about time for the talks between
the Royal Order and the Empire to begin.
[05:04] yu
The State of Wister, huh?
[05:06] yu
It's so far away...
[05:09] yu
I wonder if Joshua's okay.
[05:11] yu
I hope he hasn't made their Order angry...
[05:16] lay
Unlike us, the Empire of Grandiga
does not practice chivalry.
[05:21] lay
Thus, they lack a chivalric order.
[05:23] yu
What? Really?
[05:25] lay
Yes.
[05:26] lay
A state in which the military elite
hold the authority over the citizenry,
[05:29] lay
a military dictatorship.

That is the nature of the force
with which we share this planet,

the Grandiga Empire.

Enemy forces are withdrawing!

Too easy.
[06:56] james
This was a recon operation
to determine our strength.
[07:00] har
I know that, James.
[07:02] har
But we haven't revealed
our trump card yet, either.
[07:07] james
Withdraw!
[07:08] james
All units, hurry back to the ships!
[07:21] josh
I'm still alive, Yuki.
[07:24] lune
Oh?
[07:26] lune
Is that supposed to be Princess Yuki?
[07:27] yuni
You've got a real precious side, you know.
[07:32] yuni
Are you still keeping it from the princess?
[07:34] yuni
The fact that war has broken out
between us and the Empire...
[07:38] josh
Yeah.
[07:39] josh
I can't imagine how sad
she'd be to learn about it.
[07:43] josh
I hope she never has to know,
so that she can just keep smiling.
[07:49] josh
Yuki will always be a symbol
of peace for our kingdom.
[07:52] josh
Keeping her from harm is
our duty as retainers.
[07:57] yuni
Understood.
[07:58] yuni
We must hold the enemy off here.
[08:02] josh
I look forward to working with you.
[08:03] josh
It's time to really show
our passion and will!
[08:07] lune
Sorry. We're not big on the fiery rhetoric.
[08:11] yu
I really wish you'd stop shouting it
over the comms, too.
[08:13] yu
It gives me a headache.
[08:15] josh
S-Sorry...
[08:18] op
This is the signal from Grad,
capital of the State of Wister, to enter port.
[08:21] op
The gate will now open.
[08:38] yuni
That's our lord,
[08:40] yuni
Margrave Girard.
[08:42] har
The situation seems to have deteriorated.
[08:45] gir
Yes.
[08:46] gir
Our active forces have dropped
to almost 30% of where they were
[08:51] gir
when you and the twins left
for Hariant ten days ago.
[08:55] gir
But we're glad to get that
new chrars you brought.
[08:59] gir
Yuni, Lune, I'm glad you're both safe, as well.
[09:02] both
Yes, sir.
[09:03] lune
We're unworthy of your praise.
[09:05] gir
I'm counting on you.
[09:11] josh
If I might offer a piece of advice...
[09:14] josh
We don't have any time to lose.
[09:16] josh
I believe it's time to bring out our trump card.
[09:20] gir
What do you mean?
[09:21] sol
Keep it moving forward!
[09:23] sol
Don't jostle it!
[09:24] sol
Stop! Lower it in!
[09:29] sol
Installation complete! Connection confirmed!
[09:32] gir
Is that the new chrars?
[09:41] josh
I'm increasing the output!
[09:48] yuni
He really is reckless.
[09:50] yuni
Altitude is 70... 75 over
chrars stability level.
[09:54] james
Is he trying to break the altitude barrier?
[09:57] james
It was one thing for the technology
of the ancient immigrants,
[10:00] james
but these days, operating an air
force on this planet is impossible.
[10:04] james
The chrars stops responding
and you can't produce energy.
[10:07] aud
One hundred. Altitude barrier broken.
[10:15] josh
I-It's no use...
[10:16] josh
Is that the limit?
[10:18] josh
Go!
[10:25] op
Did you see that power?
[10:26] op
Impossible!
[10:27] james
So it still won't get us to flight.
[10:30] gir
But if we could power our entire
army with this new chrars...
[10:37] har
I'll install the remaining two
new chrars into your theurgears.
[10:43] har
Tomorrow, we'll make the first strike.
[10:45] har
We're going to get a few licks in, too.
[10:49] josh
We can do this.
[10:50] josh
With power like this,
we have nothing to fear.
[11:00] josh
It's bad for your health to
stay up this late, Princess.
[11:03] yuki
Joshua!
[11:08] man
Plant them on the hovers and the limb joints.
[11:11] man
We just need to ground them.
[11:19] josh
No luck, huh?
[11:22] josh
I heard our ancestors' planet was
covered in beautiful flowers, though...
[11:28] josh
Maybe sunflowers just won't
bloom on this planet.
[11:32] josh
I wonder why... Maybe the soil
just isn't right for them?
[11:35] yuki
I don't know.
[11:37] yuki
But Izana told me...
[11:39] yuki
When Mother was alive, she worked hard
trying to get these flowers to grow.
[11:46] josh
I hear you.
[11:47] josh
I'll look into it, too.
[11:50] yuki
Really?
[11:51] josh
Well, I should go. Early day tomorrow.
[11:53] josh
I'll call you again soon.
[11:55] yuki
Sure!
[11:56] yuki
Good luck with your duties, Joshua!
[11:58] josh
Right.
[11:59] josh
Good night, Yuki.
[12:01] josh
Pleasant dreams.
[12:09] yuki
That Joshua... Has he matured
some since last I saw him?
[12:13] lay
Princess Yuki, you haven't moved.
[12:16] yuki
R-Right.
[12:24] yuki
That's checkmate!
[12:25] lay
That's against the rules.
[12:27] yuki
But in a real battle, people don't
always play by the rules, do they?
[12:31] yuki
That mock battle before was so much fun!
[12:33] yuki
I think I might actually be
pretty good at that stuff!
[12:37] yuki
Can I do it again some time?
[12:39] yuki
Using a theurgear is a lot
more fun than chess!
[12:43] lay
War is not a game.
[12:46] lay
Never forget that.
[12:48] yuki
Well, of course it's not.
[12:49] yuki
Even I know that!
[12:52] yuki
You're weird, Miss Layla.
[12:55] lay
Did you send the request for a ceasefire?
[12:57] iza
I did.
[12:58] iza
But there was no response.
[13:02] iza
The Empire's territory is vast,
[13:04] iza
but they don't have
the resources to maintain it all.
[13:08] iza
It was obvious that they would try to invade.
[13:10] iza
To oppose them, we rushed
the development of new chrars, but...
[13:15] lay
It backfired?
[13:18] lay
The empire was waiting for us
to complete the new chrars.
[13:24] lay
They chose to invade now
in order to steal it.
[13:27] iza
It's pointless to debate about it now.
[13:30] iza
Our kingdom's future was
already far from bright.
[13:33] iza
You were aware of that, too,
weren't you, Layla?
[13:37] iza
Every year, our country's soil
produces lower crop yields.
[13:42] iza
It wasn't just about boosting our military.
[13:44] iza
We needed the new chrars to keep
the people from starvation.
[13:50] har
The Empire has materiel superiority.
[13:52] har
But our individual machines have
superior specs and armaments.
[13:56] har
Therefore...
[13:57] james
Rather than continuing this war of attrition,
[13:59] james
we need to stretch out the front
and whittle down the enemy forces.
[14:03] har
This will be the main theater.
[14:05] har
Six platoons, including Pegasus,
[14:06] har
and the Margrave's unit will set an ambush,
[14:09] har
while another unit leads
the enemy to them.
[14:12] har
Joshua, that will be your
Gard's responsibility.
[14:16] josh
Yes, sir!
[14:17] har
Just to be safe, Dracorn Unit,
Monocheros Unit,
[14:20] har
you'll stand watch over this tributary tunnel
[14:22] dra
Yes, sir!
[14:23] dra
Plant explosives on either end.
[14:25] dra
If we have to, we'll collapse the ravine
[14:28] dra
and seal off their route into Grad.
[14:31] har
We'll commence the operation in 90 minutes.
[14:34] har
All soldiers, take your positions!
[14:36] all
Yes, sir!
[15:00] josh
Pegasus 2, safe and sound!
[15:02] peg
Great job!
[15:03] peg
Krivanovs, fire at will!
[15:28] peg
If you're trying to trigger the explosives
planted on the three theurgears yesterday,
[15:32] peg
we've already removed them.
[15:35] james
Using the new chrars as a bargaining chip
to negotiate a surrender to the Empire...
[15:40] james
Was that the plan?
[15:41] har
Why did you betray us?
[15:44] gir
The fighting over these last
ten days has made it clear...
[15:47] gir
The empire is more serious
than it's ever been.
[15:50] gir
The new chrars are impressive,
but three alone won't save us.
[15:54] gir
I didn't want to see my city
burned to the ground.
[15:57] gir
I was willing to face the disgrace of
betrayal to keep my people alive.
[16:03] har
Fool.
[16:05] har
With a mindset so preoccupied with peace,
you'll never protect anything.
[16:10] yuni
Lord Girard... why?
[16:13] yuni
I'll keep Grad safe if it costs me my life.
[16:16] yuni
On that, I will stake my pride
as a knight of this region!

Prepare for a siege!
[16:59] peg

Turn off your engine!
[18:40] yuni
We're getting out of here!
[18:43] yuni
I appreciate what you did.
[18:45] yuni
I suppose I'm in your debt...

You've got a real precious side, you know?
[18:51] yuni
Sh-Shut up!

But...
[19:05] josh
Watch me, Dad.
[19:07] josh
I'm going to surpass you!
[19:17] yuki
I did it!
[19:18] yuki
I know! I should tell Joshua!
[19:20] lay
Princess Yuki.
[19:22] lay
Prepare to depart.
[19:25] yuki
What's wrong, Miss Layla?
[19:27] lay
I'll explain later. Just come along.
[19:30] yu
Okay, but where are we going?
[19:31] yu
To Meredith, capital of the State of Soleil.
[19:34] yu
The Order's carrier is pulling into port.
[19:37] yuki
Will Joshua be with them?
[19:39] yuki
I'm so glad!
[19:40] yuki
There's something I have to tell him,
[19:43] yuki
but I can't seem to get in
touch with him by terminal!
[19:46] yuki
I'm so happy, though!
[19:47] yuki
It's been years since I last left Hariant!
[19:55] yuki
The Order's carrier...
[19:57] yuki
What happened?
[19:58] iza
After a five-day siege,
[20:00] iza
a border city called Grad
fell into enemy hands.
[20:05] lay
Margrave Girard surrendered.
[20:08] lay
The Order narrowly managed

Hey, Stella.

He was transferred here, wasn't he?
[02:48] lil
Well, I know that.
[02:50] lil
But what I meant is—

The rumor that he ignored
an order from above, right?

No one's talking to you, Huey!
[02:58] pie
It's an entirely baseless rumor.

Even before the war, our commander

VIP escorts, stamping out terrorists...

He always carried out his
orders to the letter.

All the more reason for the rumors, I'd say.

How'd a guy like him end up leading

[04:04] gail
What's its significance?

According to prisoners we took
at the Battle of Lorgeth,

there's a chance some supplies have
been left at the local forces' base.

forces in another battle

It seems the local lord took
the bulk of his army to guard Hariant.

Only a small local force should be present.

Infiltration shouldn't be difficult.

Hey. You guys work for a laundry, right?

A friend of ours works in this storehouse.

Your friend probably went with them.

You find any food?

I can't get in touch with

He'll be out of touch until
his scheduled contact time.
[11:57] lieu
What's going on?
[11:58] stel
He learned that the Order are here
in the base, so he's investigating.
[12:03] lieu
The Order?
[12:04] stel
Yes.
[12:05] lieu
We've just received word from
the Hariant scouting party
[12:08] lieu
that the Soleil Army is heading for Azaria.
[12:12] lieu
A battalion, it seems.
[12:13] stel
A battalion? Coming here?
[12:16] lieu
Yes.

It might be related to whatever
the Order is doing there.

This is...
[12:36] lil
A food plant powered by the new chrars?
[12:40] hu
Just one of 'em is enough
to run a plant of that size?
[12:43] hu
Talk about an exponential upgrade...

I suspect the Royal Army is coming to
carry these provisions to the front lines.
[12:52] Lieu

[12:53] Lieu
What do you recommend?
[12:55] fleet
At the moment, we can't spare
the forces to engage the battalion.
[13:00] fleet
Special Ensign Gail Owens.
[13:03] fleet
Can you obtain the new chrars
and destroy the plant
[13:06] fleet
before the Royal Army arrives?
[13:10] lieu
What's the matter?
[13:11] gail
I can.
[13:12] gail
But it might result in civilian casualties.
[13:15] fleet
A necessary evil.
[13:17] fleet
If the food produced by that new chrars
[13:19] fleet
were to be distributed across Soleil,
[13:22] fleet
the tide of battle would
swiftly turn against us.
[13:25] fleet
The longer the fighting drags on,
the more our people will suffer.
[13:31] gail
Understood.
[13:33] fleet
Just in case, we're sending two
twelve-gun batteries your way.
[13:38] gail
You mean...
[13:40] fleet
If you fail, we'll bombard the plant
from long range and destroy it
[13:44] fleet
before the battalion arrives.
[13:48] fleet
We expect the enemy battalion to
arrive in roughly three hours.
[13:52] fleet
Thus, the battery will open fire
two hours from now, at 2300 hours.
[13:58] gail

We were having a little talk, just now...

What if someone had died while
you were AWOL during the mission?

It's a commander's job to
trust his subordinates.

Oh, clever.

Where's Stella?

I'm afraid I don't know.

We've planted bombs in
the hall and on the device.

Dismantle the new chrars.

We're in a hurry! Bring her in!
[12:13] (Flashback) doc
You're going to be all right.
[12:16] (Flashback) doc
She's regaining consciousness.
[12:17] (Flashback) doc
Pulse rate 50. Blood pressure 95 over 65.
[12:20] (Flashback) doc
No sign of cyanosis. Breathing is stable.
[12:22] (Flashback) doc
PVR has risen to normal levels.

Princess Yuki!

Don't worry. The princess is unharmed.

I awoke one month later.
[12:42] lay
While I was in a coma,
[12:45] lay
the Kingdom of Soleil had censured
the Empire of Grandiga with a claim
[12:48] lay
that the king's death was the result of
the Imperial Army's reckless behavior.
[12:54] lay
Diplomatic relations between the
countries were severed as a result.
[12:58] (Flashback) iza
Ms. Étoile.
[13:01] (Flashback) iza
We've accounted for everyone
who returned safely.
[13:04] (Flashback) iza
This is the list of those presumed dead.
[13:19] lay
And so, I lost my family, my home...
[13:25] lay
everything.
[13:35] (Flashback) iza
How are you feeling?
[13:38] (Flashback) lay
Better...
[13:39] (Flashback) iza
I invited you here to thank you, Ms. Étoile.
[13:48] (Flashback) iza
Do you remember her?
[13:50] (Flashback) lay
That girl...
[13:52] (Flashback) iza
That is the daughter of the late
royal couple, Princess Yuki Soleil.
[13:59] (Flashback) lay
Princess... Yuki...
[14:01] (Flashback) iza
If you hadn't protected her,
she would be dead now.
[14:11] (Flashback) josh
C'mon, Princess Yuki! Bleh!
[14:16] (Flashback) josh
Princess Yuki! Princess Yuki!
[14:18] (Flashback) iza
No one knows what to do
when she gets like this.
[14:59] lay
From that day forward,
I would serve Princess Yuki.
[15:10] yuki
Miss Layla...
[15:11] lay
Princess Yuki, I request that you change.
[15:18] yuki
Hey, Miss Layla...
[15:20] lay
Yes?
[15:21] yuki
Did you know that Joshua and I used
to sneak out together like this?
[15:27] lay
Did you truly think that I wouldn't notice?
[15:36] yuki
I wonder what Father and
Mother would think...
[15:40] yuki
if they heard about the State of Caldarth.
[15:43] lay
You chose the lives of your people
over your personal feelings.
[15:48] lay
I'm sure they would be proud.
[15:53] lay
I feel the same way.
[15:56] yuki
Really?
[15:57] lay
Yes. You are a worthy princess of Soleil.
[16:03] yuki
That's right...
[16:05] yuki
I am the princess, aren't I?
[16:08] yuki
Thank you, Miss Layla.
[16:15] ope
The evacuation of the state

Leash is the last location left.

Evacuation should be complete by 1100 hours.

I should see this for myself...

Moderate damage: 126.

Major damage: zero.

Those mounted with the new chrars

[17:28] yuki
The new chrars?
[17:31] har
Please, forgive me.
[17:34] har
I installed the new chrars
without your permission.
[17:38] yuki
Why?!
[17:40] har
To hold the enemy back until
evacuations were complete,
[17:45] har
our forces needed the
power of the new chrars.
[17:49] iza
I'm the one who recommended it.
[17:51] iza
I'll accept any punishment
you feel appropriate.
[18:00] yuki
It was the new chrars that allowed
everyone evacuate safely...
[18:06] yuki
Is that correct?
[18:08] har
Yes.
[18:08] iza
That much is indisputable.
[18:13] yuki
Very well.
[18:15] yuki
But from now on, you are
to report everything to me.

Yes, ma'am.

Urgent message from the recon unit in Leash!

I want you to save them!

Why not, Harold?!

If we send reinforcements now,
it will only exacerbate our losses!

We can't afford to lose the Excessarca, too!

But if we don't...
[20:34] yuki
Harold! Please!
[20:38] yuki
Please, get away!

Why...

This is the nature of war.

How's a man supposed to enjoy a meal?

We're hardly in any position to complain,

We're at a serious positional
disadvantage here.

There's more to it than that.
[00:50] pierce
Their firing range is incredible, too.
[00:53] stel
Is it the new chrars, do you think?
[00:56] gail
Likely.
[00:57] gail
They're probably mounted on
all the Order's theurgears.
[01:09] lily
Is that the power of the new chrars?
[01:12] break
You think they're installing one
every new model they make?
[01:16] huey
Just goes to show how desperate they are.
[01:19] huey
This is a critical point for them, after all.
[01:22] gail
It is for us, too.
[01:24] gail
If we break through here,
we'll be able to rush their capital.

All right, get in position.

We were stationed together in

Hey, don't be like that.

We really looked out for you guys!
[04:32] huey
Yeah, you taught us a few things,
that's for sure!
[04:35] guy
I see you've made yourselves
a bit useful, at least.
[04:38] guy
I was worried, at first,
all you greenhorns together...

I see you haven't changed a bit, though.

Well, see you around. Try not to die.

No worries about that.

They really put you through

They just like to talk nasty.
[05:17] huey
Look nasty, too.
[05:20] gail
Is everyone here?
[05:22] gail
Get inside. I'll explain the plan.
[05:25] gail
Under cover of night, we'll circle
around this way, heading south.
[05:30] gail
Once we pass the tributary on
our right, we'll head west.
[05:32] gail
The bridge will be just ahead.
[05:35] gail
Our squad will be the vanguard.
[05:38] pierce
What if we're sighted before
we reach our target?
[05:41] gail
That's already been taken into account.
[05:43] gail
If we're seen, we can still be
useful by creating a diversion.
[05:47] break
"Play the good little decoy," eh?
[05:50] stel
If you don't like the idea, do your
best to make sure we aren't seen.
[05:53] gail
What she said, more or less.
[05:56] gail
From the bridge, we'll pass through the forest
and confirm the enemy camp's location.
[06:00] gail
If we succeed, we'll contact
the main force with a flare.
[06:02] gail
Once the shelling begins, we'll rush them
from behind to throw them off balance
[06:05] gail
while our main force pours into their camp.
[06:09] huey
You really think it'll be that easy?
[06:12] huey
They'll have sentries all over that forest.
[06:14] gail
The concentration of forces on the front line
[06:17] gail
suggests their rear guard
will be undermanned.
[06:20] gail
The plan's a lot of wishful thinking.
[06:24] gail
We'll kick this off at 0100 hours.
[06:26] gail
We'll be navigating a forest at night.
Take care that you don't get separated.
[06:30] huey
I'm sure we'll be fine.
[06:32] huey
As long as no one decides
to run off on his own...
[06:35] gail
No need to worry about that.
[06:38] gail
This isn't some cushy operation
I can trust you to handle without me.

Take those words to heart.
[06:49] huey
Still can't stand that guy.
[06:51] break
We still don't know why
he joined our squad, either.
[06:55] pierce
I think... it might have been for money.

For money?
[06:59] pierce
I saw him make a money
transfer back at camp earlier.
[07:02] pierce
I was right nearby.
[07:04] huey
That's not so weird.
He's probably got family.
[07:08] break
Or a girlfriend.
[07:10] pierce
But it was quite a significant amount.
[07:12] pierce
Even the accountant ended up
asking who it was for.
[07:16] lily
What did he say in response?
[07:19] pierce
He said...
[07:20] pierce
"I have a battalion's worth of little
birds waiting for their feed."
[07:26] break
What the hell does that mean?

Hey, Lily, hey!

Make it fast and thorough.

Don't let them report back.

Ow, ow, ow!

Hey, now!

Um... thank you.

I'm sorry for the trouble.
[11:44] lily
So... you know medical stuff, huh?
[11:47] gail
I've looked after my share

[11:51] lily
I guess you would.
On battlefields and such...
[11:55] gail
More or less.
[11:57] lily
Um... why did you join our squad?
[12:01] gail
How long has it been?
[12:03] gail
Since you joined this squad.
[12:06] lily
Two years now.
[12:09] lily
Stella and I are the only ones
who've been here from the start.
[12:12] lily
Huey transferred from
another squad soon after,
[12:16] lily
but he was just as green as we were.
[12:19] lily
We received a lot of mockery and ridicule.
[12:24] gail
Did the others all die in battle?
[12:27] lily
Yes...
[12:28] lily
We went through a couple of replacements
[12:30] lily
before Warrant Officers
Break and Pierce joined.
[12:34] gail
I see.
[12:36] lily
But... I'm really surprised
I've lasted this long.
[12:40] lily
I owe it all to Stella.
[12:42] gail
You seem to place a lot of trust in her.
[12:46] lily
I do.
[12:48] lily
She's saved me time and time again.
[12:51] lily
Remember when that borderland
unit started a coup d'etat?
[12:57] lily
Putting them down was harder
than anyone expected.
[13:01] lily
They'd dug in deep with
an all-out resistance.
[13:04] lily
In the end, both sides ran out of ammo,
[13:07] lily
and we had to fight hand-to-hand...
[13:16] lily
By that point, I was losing
my will to fight back...
[13:27] (Flashback) stel
Lily!
[13:29] lil
Stella had run out of ammo, too.
[13:31] lil
She had just one option left...
[13:43] lil
It really surprised me.
[13:46] lil
That calm and cool Stella
charged right into danger...
[13:50] lil
All to save me.
[13:54] gail
She's always been that way, then?
[13:57] lily
What way?
[13:58] gail
I just can't get a handle on her.
[14:00] gail
She's always smiling that artificial smile...
[14:06] gail
Have you ever seen one from her?
A genuine, heartfelt smile?
[14:14] lily
Good question...
[14:18] gail
What is it?
[14:19] stel
We've made it to the bridge.
[14:22] stel
We'll wait here for the
other squads to arrive.

Understood. I'm on my way now.

Yes, sir.

W-Wait...

Well... I feel like I said
more than I meant to.

Hurry it up, Pierce!

Okay, that's two down!

Buerger... Squad...
[16:55] guy
Buerger Squad, do you read me?
[16:57] huey
That you, Guy?
[16:59] guy
Eugen's down.
[17:01] guy
The rest of us were disabled...
[17:03] guy
by this one damned machine!
[17:05] huey
He's down?

Wait, are you telling me Eugen's dead?!

Keep going!

D-Damn it!

You won't hit me with wild fire like that!

It's broken?!

Take this!
[19:24] gail
Don't move, Lily!
[19:34] gail
Enough.
[19:35] gail
Don't bother chasing it.
[19:41] stel
Thank you, Lily.
[19:43] lily
I didn't manage to take it out, though.
[19:46] lily
The way you did back then...
[19:49] stel
"Back then"?
[19:51] lily
Never mind.
[19:54] huey
Looks like you're totally grounded this time.
[19:57] lily
You looked way worse than I did.
[19:59] huey
Shut up!
[20:01] huey
Any left?
[20:02] gail
We cleared them up.
[20:04] gail
But the Hirsch Squad took
major damage all around.
[20:07] gail
They lost a member, too.
[20:09] huey
Figures.
[20:11] huey
Stuck-up bastard, telling me not to die...
[20:17] huey
But what can you do but laugh?
It happens over and over...
[20:27] pierce
The flare!
[20:29] gail
Looks like the Schaff Squad found their base.
[20:34] break
They'll begin the main
assault soon. Let's go.
[20:37] gail
Lily, you'll wait for the
support truck this time, right?
[20:41] lily
Yes, sir.
[20:44] gail
Your boosters are out, too.
Can you still fight?
[20:47] huey
You bet.
[20:48] huey
Walking or crawling, I'll be there.
[20:51] lily
Hey, no worries.
[20:52] lily
We can always replace you if you die!
[20:56] huey
Telling someone that just improves
their survival odds, y'know.
[21:01] gail
Okay, we'll attack the enemy from
behind to throw them off balance.
[21:05] gail
Let's go!
[21:06] all
Roger that!
[21:15] lily
Back then...
[21:18] (Flashback) stel

Hey...

You shouldn't be moving yet.

Your wound will open.
[00:21] yuni
This is... the Excessarca's infirmary?
[00:26] yuni
I can't be here... I need to
get back to the front lines!
[00:29] lune
Calm down. The battle's over.
[00:31] lune
We're mustering our remaining forces
and falling back to Hariant.
[00:37] yuni
Then the defense line on the River Deese...
[00:41] lune
Yeah...
[00:42] lune
There was a full day of fighting,
and the Imperial Army broke through.
[00:48] lune
I don't like it either,

your recovery for now.

People of Hariant.
[02:44] yuki
Please follow the instructions
given to you calmly but quickly.
[02:48] yuki
The Kingdom will bring you all
safely to the evacuation site.
[02:53] yuki
We will overcome this hardship,
and smile together again some day.
[02:58] yuki
I, Yuki Soleil, believe this
from the bottom of my heart.
[03:02] yuki
Everyone, please prioritize your
safety over everything else.
[03:07] yuki
I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts.
[03:11] iza
Princess Yuki... she volunteered
for that painful duty.
[03:16] har
But it was worth it.
[03:17] har
There has been no panic among
the citizens as a result.
[03:21] iza
Will the war finally come
to our city of Hariant?
[03:26] har
How's Elisa? Has she left
the city with Noel yet?
[03:30] iza
No...
[03:32] lay
You did well.
[03:33] lay
You should leave things to the others
now, and go rest in your room.
[03:37] yuki
Miss Layla... is there really
no way to avoid more fighting?
[03:42] lay
I'm afraid not.
[03:45] yuki
What if I surrender, and turn
myself over to the Empire?
[03:49] lay
The people do not wish to sacrifice you.
[03:54] lay
And it will be all the more torturous for
them if we're occupied by the Empire.
[04:00] yuki
Then, you're saying there's
nothing else I can do?
[04:07] yuki
It was the same back then... in Leash.
[04:12] yuki
I just wanted to save the
people left in the city...
[04:16] yuki
But I couldn't do anything... except watch...
[04:20] yuki
What am I... as princess...
[04:37] noel
Papa!
[04:39] iza
Noel! You really came?
[04:41] noel
Yeah! I kept Mama and the baby safe!
[04:45] iza
I see, thank you.
That's very brave of you.
[04:52] iza
Please reconsider.
There's still time to evacuate!
[04:55] iza
For the sake of our unborn child...
[04:56] eli
Yeah, yeah. Here, a change of clothes.
[05:01] iza
Elisa...
[05:02] eli
There's no way we could run
off and leave you here.
[05:05] eli
If you're staying and fighting,
I want to be here to support you.
[05:11] eli
The others' families all feel the same way.
[05:15] iza
But...
[05:22] noel
Princess Yuki!
[05:24] yu
Noel! What are you...
[05:26] yu
Who are these people?
[05:28] eli
It's been some time, Princess Yuki.
[05:30] eli
I'm afraid we'll be imposing on you for a bit.
[05:34] iza
Elisa, this discussion isn't over! Elisa!
[05:37] noel
Princess Yuki! Where's Joshua?
[05:41] noel
Hey, where's Joshua? I wanna play with him!
[05:46] yuki
Joshua... is far away right now. For work.
[05:50] noel
Aw...
[05:52] yuki
Come on. Let's look at the flowers.
[06:02] noel
So pretty!
[06:04] noel
Huh? Are those flowers, too?
[06:06] noel
They look all droopy....
[06:07] yuki
They're called sunflowers.
[06:09] yuki
They come from the our ancestors' homeworld,
[06:12] yuki
but they're very hard to grow...
[06:15] noel
Let's water them! I'll go get some!
[06:21] yuki
Noel!
[06:24] yuki
It's... It's dangerous here.
[06:28] yuki
I want you and your mother to go away.
[06:32] yuki
Please.
[06:34] noel
Why do we have to go away?
[06:36] noel
We haven't done anything wrong.
[06:40] yuki
Well...
[06:42] noel
C'mon, tell me!
[06:43] noel
Princess Yuki, you're in charge
of the whole country, right?
[06:46] noel
I bet you know everything!
[06:49] yuki
No... I don't.
[06:55] yuki
I'm like these flowers.
[06:59] yuki
Raised inside a cage,
sheltered and cared for...
[07:03] yuki
That's why I didn't know...
[07:06] yuki
what was really going on...
[07:09] yuki
But...
[07:12] yuki
I can't stay like this.
[07:15] noel
Princess Yuki?
[07:22] james
The Kingdom's last line of defense
[07:24] james
will be 15 kilometers north of Hariant,
on the Bram Plateau.
[07:28] james
We're down to 20% of our original forces.
[07:31] james
Only two platoons of theurgears
equipped with the new chrars remain.
[07:36] iza
What's their speed of approach?
[07:38] ope
They're within 100 kilometers of Hariant.
[07:41] ope
They'll reach our line around daybreak.
[07:42] har
They number 50,000 in total.
[07:46] har
And I'm sure Chief of Staff Eine Fleet
is commanding them personally.
[07:50] har
Prepare one of the new chrars.
[07:52] har
I'm going to join the front lines.
[07:54] iza
Harold, you...
[07:56] james
The old ace going back into action, eh?
[07:58] james
That should boost the troops' morale.
[08:01] james
But are you sure you can handle it?
[08:04] har
Of course I can.
[08:05] har
Who do you think you're talking to?
[08:07] james
Heh... very well.
[08:08] james
I'll prepare you a Gard, then.
[08:21] lay
Your daughter is in Princess Yuki's room.
[08:24] lay
You should take some time to rest, as well.
[08:26] eli
All right. I think I shall.
[08:31] lay
Elisa?
[08:34] eli
Yes?
[08:35] lay
Take care of your daughter.
[08:38] lay
If there's anything that I can do,
don't hesitate to let me know.
[08:42] eli
I appreciate it greatly.
[08:44] eli
Now, eat up, before it gets cold.
[08:52] lay
Elisa prepared dinner for us. Shall we?
[08:57] yuki
Sure!
[09:00] yuki
Hey, Miss Layla.
[09:02] yuki
The Empire started the war because
they wanted the new chrars, right?
[09:08] lay
That is one of the reasons, yes.
[09:11] yuki
My parents were trying to make the
new chrars to help everyone...
[09:17] yuki
I think they really meant it, too.
[09:19] yuki
But now...
[09:23] yuki
So many people have died
because of the chrars.
[09:27] yuki
Why? Was it bad to make the chrars?
[09:31] lay
One of the most basic causes of war
[09:33] lay
is the struggle for wealth and resources.
[09:37] lay
This time, it simply happens to be the chrars.
[09:41] yuki
But...
[09:42] lay
The energy that the chrars provide is
the foundation of our civilization.
[09:46] lay
Their application would inevitably extend beyond
peaceful purposes to weapons of war.
[09:51] lay
Regrettable as it may be.
[09:54] yuki
Then...
[09:56] yuki
Then I'm going to use those
weapons to stop the fighting.
[10:01] yuki
I'm tired of watching, silent and powerless!
[10:06] lay
Princess Yuki...
[10:11] har
Did the princess...
[10:13] iza
Yes.
[10:14] iza
I hear she's visited Joshua's
grave every day without fail.
[10:27] har
Adelle.
[10:30] har
I'm sorry.
[10:33] har
I'm going to give you reason
to grieve once again.
[10:37] iza
I'll ask, just to be sure.
[10:40] iza
You aren't doing this just
for revenge, are you?
[10:47] iza
If the Empire hadn't resorted to
force of arms twelve years ago...
[11:05] iza
If you're just going back into
battle to avenge her, then...
[11:10] har
I can't deny it.
[11:12] har
That is part of it.
[11:14] har
But my desire to protect Princess Yuki—
to protect the Kingdom—is genuine.
[11:20] iza
Very well.
[11:22] iza
Give it your best.
[11:29] ope
Communication from the enemy Chief of Staff.
[11:31] aine
I'll ask you one more time:
[11:33] aine
Advisor Langford,
[11:35] aine
do you have no intent to surrender?
[11:37] iza
Certainly not.
[11:39] iza
There is nothing more to discuss.
[11:41] aine
Very well. So noted.
[11:47] aine
Sovereign of the Kingdom
of Soleil, Princess Yuki.
[11:50] aine
I am commander of the Imperial Army,
Chief of Staff Eine Fleet.
[11:55] yuki
A pleasure to meet you.
[11:57] aine
I'd heard you turned twelve years old, and...
[12:00] aine
Indeed, you've grown quite pretty.
[12:02] aine
You must have been raised in
a truly loving environment.
[12:07] aine
But that ends here today.
[12:09] aine
Sit there in your ivory tower
and watch your kingdom fall.
[12:14] har
Here we go! Follow me!
[12:17] all
Yes, sir!
[12:18] yuki
That voice... was that Harold?
[12:20] iza
Yes.
[12:21] iza
He volunteered to lead the charge personally.
[12:24] yuki
I've never seen Harold fight
in a theurgear before...
[12:31] ope
Approximately 1,200 in their vanguard.
[12:33] ope
Their main force is right behind.
[12:34] ope
Total number... incalculable!
[12:37] iza
There are two elements to our defense line.
[12:42] iza
First, the front line minefield
will winnow their numbers.
[12:48] iza
Those that break through...
[12:51] iza
will be met by Harold and
the rest of the vanguard.
[12:54] har
Engage hand-to-hand combat!
[13:10] har
Those that break through will
enter the rear minefield,
[13:14] har
where a firing squad will pick them off.
[13:19] yuki
Wait!
[13:20] yuki
Does that mean Harold and the others
will be trapped between the minefields...
[13:23] iza
Yes, and unable to retreat.
[13:25] iza
It is a suicide mission.
[13:32] ian
Half of the front line
mines have been detonated.
[13:34] ian
There are just too many of them!
[13:36] james
Adjust the range of our cannons.
[13:38] james
Angle of elevation, minus three degrees.
[13:40] james
Relay the same to the Krivanovs.
[13:42] niko
But at that angle, we risk hitting our allies, too!
[13:46] james
They'll just have to be skilled
enough not to get hit.
[13:57] yuki
It never ends!
[14:01] lune
Yuni!
[14:07] lune
Grand Master Harold!
[14:09] har
Keep each other safe,
[14:10] har
if you don't want any regrets.
[14:15] har
Here they come.
[14:17] har
I won't let you people...
[14:20] har
take anything precious to me...
[14:24] har
ever again!
[14:47] lay
You mustn't avert your gaze.
[14:49] lay
This is our reality.
[14:51] lay
You said that you wanted to
stop the fighting, didn't you?
[14:54] lay
Then think, with all your might...
[14:57] lay
If you can't do that,
you will remain powerless.
[15:24] har
You crafty little...!
[15:39] har
I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
[15:44] yuki
Harold, no!
[15:48] har
I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
[15:52] har
Damn you!
[16:00] yuki
That pilot went to help her comrade...
[16:04] lay
The enemy are human, too.
[16:06] lay
It's no surprise, is it?
[16:14] yuki
This is wrong.
[16:17] yuki
But what can I...
[16:20] (Flashback) josh
Don't give up!
[16:22] (Flashback) josh
With passion and will,
there's nothing you can't do!
[16:37] yuki
It's possible...
[16:39] yuki
How many of the mines do we have left?
[16:43] ope
20% on the front line. 50% in the rear.
[16:46] yuki
It just might work...
[16:49] yuki
Izana, do we have the
data on the Bram Plateau?
[16:55] lune
Yuni!
[16:56] yuni
It's all right... I'm not finished yet.
[16:59] yuni
Here I go!
[17:01] yuki
Attention, all theurgears!
[17:03] yuki
I've disabled all the mines!
[17:05] yuki
Retreat to our camp behind the minefield!
[17:08] yuki
This is an order from your princess!
[17:09] har
Princess Yuki... What are you...
[17:12] yuki
Notify the enemy army, too!
[17:14] yuki
Hurry! I don't want any
more of them to die, either!
[17:28] yuki
All mines... detonate!
[17:37] yuki
All units, fire!
[17:58] yuki
Don't look away...
[18:00] yuki
These are the consequences of my actions.
[18:03] lay
The ground there is calcareous...
[18:06] iza
It's been eroded away
by an underground river.
[18:10] iza
But I never even thought that you could...
[18:15] lune
No way. It's so deep and so wide...
[18:18] yuni
We can't cross it with hovers...
[18:22] har
Excessarca, resume shelling!
[18:25] har
If we thin out their forces now—
[18:27] yuki
No, you will not.
[18:29] yuki
I want you all to stand by
and await my further command.
[18:31] har
Princess Yuki!
[18:33] yuki
Harold, you need to do as I say.
[18:35] yuki
That's an order.
[18:41] iza
Princess Yuki...
[18:46] james
It will probably take until tomorrow
for the Empire to marshal their forces.
[18:51] james
What is our next course
of action, Your Highness?
[18:54] yuki
Contact their leader, Chief of Staff Eine.
[18:58] yuki
The Kingdom of Soleil will accept
the Empire's terms of surrender
[19:01] yuki
and lay down arms immediately.
[19:04] yuni
Princess Yuki!
[19:05] yuni
But, then...
[19:07] yuki
I don't want to see anyone else die.
[19:11] yuki
So I'll turn myself over to the Empire.
[19:16] yuki
I'm prepared to give my life
to see an end to this fighting.
[19:20] yuni
No!
[19:23] har
Your Highness...
[19:25] iza
You insist on this course of action?
[19:28] yuki
Yes.
[19:30] iza
Very well.
[19:32] iza
I'll begin overtures to the Empire at once.
[19:36] yuki
Thank you.
[19:39] yuki
The signing won't be at the
Royal Palace of Soleil?
[19:43] iza
You must travel to the Imperial headquarters.
[19:46] iza
This ship will take you there.
[19:49] yuki
I see.
[19:50] iza
Once the signing is complete,
[19:51] iza
the Imperial Army will wish to
begin their occupation immediately.
[19:54] iza
I will remain and make preparations for that.
[19:57] yuki
Please do.
[20:11] yuki
Where are we going?
[20:13] yuki
This isn't the way to the
Imperial headquarters...
[20:15] yuki
This ship is heading south
[20:17] yuki
to the primary refugee evacuation site,
[20:19] yuki
the southern State of Leo Tacrath.
[20:23] yuki
What?
[20:25] yuki
You will change our course this instant!
[20:37] har
Princess Yuki.
[20:48] iza
Good luck to all of you.
[20:50] iza
Fight well.
[20:52] yuki
Izana! I...
[20:55] iza
Look after Elisa and Noel...
[20:58] iza
And my other child, about to be born.
[21:06] iza
Princess Yuki, you have just
begun to stand on your own.
[21:10] iza
Now is not the time for you to die.
[21:16] yuki
Izana!
[22:51] aine
To save her own skin, Yuki Soleil has fled.
[22:54] aine
She has abandoned Hariant and its people!
[22:58] aine
The sheer cowardice of it!
[23:00] aine
She is unworthy to reign over others!
[23:02] aine
We are victorious.
[23:05] aine
The Kingdom is as good as fallen.
[23:08] aine
And we owe it to your diligent, hard work.
[23:11] aine
Glory to Grandiga!

But the Kingdom of Soleil is
now in a difficult position.
[00:12] iza
Our capital city, Hariant,
is currently occupied.
[00:16] iza
We do not wish to see any more
pointless losses or deaths.
[00:22] mar
Not only did you get yourself captured,
[00:24] mar
now you're acting as the Empire's lapdog?
[00:27] mar
I'm disappointed.
[00:28] mar
Have you lost your pride?
[00:31] mar
It has been a month since the princess
abandoned her people and fled.
[00:35] mar
No matter how young she may be,
[00:36] mar
she should have comported herself in
a manner more appropriate to her station.
[00:39] iza
Margrave. The princess has not abandoned—
[00:42] mar
No excuses!
[00:44] mar
My pride demands that I defend
my ancestral lands to the end.
[00:50] mar
Excuse me.
[00:54] mon
Commander Eine is here to see you.

There was a lot of shelling
in this area, too, huh?
[02:46] lily
It's a strange feeling...
[02:49] lily
seeing the aftermath of our attacks on them.
[02:52] stel
And vice-versa, too.
[02:55] lily
Yeah... looking at Pierce since he got hurt.
[02:59] lily
It's still hard for me.
[03:02] stel
Yes.
[03:04] stel
Especially since he's trying
so hard to be strong...
[03:11] brea
I thought this was the royal palace.
[03:14] huey
Yeah, pathetic.
[03:16] brea
Hey, how'd it go?
[03:18] stel
This should be our last visit
to Pierce in the hospital.
[03:20] huey
What, is he finally kicking the bucket?
[03:22] lily
You idiot. He's being
discharged this evening.
[03:25] brea
Today?
[03:26] lily
So Stella and I were talking, and...
[03:30] stel
I was wondering if we could
all send Pierce off together.
[03:34] aine
So the western Margrave
won't submit that easily?
[03:39] iza
Though they're technically part of our domain,
it is a region with much history.
[03:43] iza
You can force me to advocate on your behalf,
[03:46] iza
but that doesn't mean they'll listen.
[03:48] aine
I'm aware of the difficulty.
[03:50] aine
Try your hardest to
convince them, regardless.
[03:53] aine
Neither of us wants to see more
pointless bloodshed, do we?
[03:56] iza
Pointless blood?
[03:58] iza
Don't you mean, "I'd rather not have
to divide my forces, if possible"?
[04:04] aine
I anticipated that the
Royal Senate would flee here.
[04:08] aine
I'd naïvely assumed that their
surrender would come soon after...
[04:12] aine
I didn't expect they would
give us this much trouble.
[04:15] aine
Rumors say that
[04:17] aine
it's the runaway princess who commands
the remaining resistance. Is it true?
[04:21] iza
I wouldn't know.
[04:22] iza
I've been a bird in a cage for over a month.
[04:25] iza
I'm in no position to hear such things.
[04:29] aine
Then, as a bird in a cage, do keep singing...
[04:34] aine
The song, "surrender to the Empire."
[04:39] gail
A farewell party, eh?
[04:41] gail
Sounds fine.
[04:42] gail
You can use my room if you'd like.
[04:44] stel
Thank you, sir.
[04:45] break
But there's no decent food
to have a proper feast.
[04:49] huey
Seems a little late for the buddy-buddy act.
[04:52] lily
Why do you always have to be this way?
[04:55] gai
There you are, Huey! And company.
[04:57] stel
Guy?
[04:58] huey
What're you doing here?
[05:00] guy
What do you think? I'm joining you guys!
[05:02] break
Who's that guy again?
[05:05] stel
From the fight on the River Deese...
[05:06] huey
Remember the sad fool who was
all like "ahh, they got us"?
[05:10] break
Oh, I remember now!
[05:12] guy
Don't exaggerate.
[05:15] lily
But, what do you mean, you're joining us?
[05:17] gail
The decision was made unofficially.
[05:19] gail
He's filling in for Pierce.
[05:22] gai
I look forward to serving with you!
[05:24] gai
You heard the man.
[05:26] guy
I even brought a present.
[05:29] guy
From my private stash.
[05:31] guy
Don't spare the gratitude, okay?
[05:33] huey
You drank half.
[05:37] stel
What if we all brought food?
[05:40] gai
What are you talking about?
[05:41] lily
Of course! That's a great idea!
[05:44] lily
Let's all bring things
from our private stores!
[05:47] guy
Seriously, what are you talking about?!
[05:50] aine
My Emperor.
[05:51] aine
I've received word that the
information Advisor Langford gave us
[05:54] aine
has nearly been decoded.
[05:57] emp
I see.
[05:58] emp
Does that mean we'll be able to mass-produce
[06:02] emp
the new chrars currently in our possession?
[06:04] aine
Yes, almost certainly.
[06:07] aine
However...
[06:08] emp
Yes?
[06:09] aine
With the end of the conflict in sight,
[06:13] aine
hasn't the need for mass
production become less urgent?
[06:17] aine
As you know, the new chrars are
rife with issues, and given—
[06:20] emp
Enough.
[06:22] emp
Soldiers die under my flag.
[06:26] emp
When your crest represents
no tradition, no bloodline,
[06:29] emp
the only way it can command
loyalty is with power.
[06:34] emp
I know that better than anyone.
[06:40] lily
I'm pretty sure...
[06:46] lily
It probably won't be enough.
[06:49] lily
Even if we all bring some...
[06:52] lily
Is something wrong?
[06:54] stel
This smell...
[07:01] huey
Totally not enough.
[07:03] huey
Some party this is gonna be.
[07:06] brea
You're one to talk.
[07:07] brea
You didn't even bring anything!
[07:10] lily
Open up! Please open the door!
[07:15] stel
I thought we could share this.
[07:17] gail
What's all this?
[07:19] lily
Apparently some stray fire hit the palace
wine cellar and blew a hole in it.
[07:23] stel
Most of the wine was ruined,
and they were going to throw it out.
[07:28] gail
So you took some?
[07:29] lily
Stella is amazing!
[07:31] lily
She picked up the smell of
the spilled wine right away!
[07:34] stel
Well... I have a memory of playing
around in a place like that long ago.
[07:40] break
You came from a household with a wine cellar?
[07:42] stel
Or maybe it was in the neighborhood...
[07:45] stel
It was a really long time ago.
[07:48] stel
The memories are fuzzy.
[07:50] guy
Get outta the way!
[07:53] break
Potatoes?
[07:54] guy
The load was starting to go bad, and they
were desperate for a way to get rid of them.
[07:58] stel
But they don't seem to be
in terrible condition...
[08:01] guy
Well, you stay in the military long enough,
[08:03] guy
you pick up a loyal squadmate or two.
[08:07] huey
Sounds like I'm up, then.
[08:09] huey
Is the kitchen free?
[08:15] lily
How shocking!
[08:17] lily
I didn't know Huey had such skills.
[08:22] stel
What?
[08:28] huey
Okay, enough peeling.
[08:29] huey
Break, go cook those sardines.
[08:31] break
Huh? But they're canned!
[08:33] huey
So grill 'em in the can.
[08:35] huey
A little extra effort goes a long way.
[08:39] break
Wh-Which one's the grill?
[08:41] guy
Quiet down! Someone's gonna come!
[08:43] huey
You people!
[08:44] huey
Cooking isn't something you can do quietly!
[08:47] huey
And you, quit staring and put
those potatoes in the mixer!
[08:50] lily
You don't have to be so bossy!
[08:52] stel
What should I do?
[08:53] huey
Let's see...
[08:54] huey
Here, chateau these.
[08:56] stel
Huh?
[08:57] huey
Okay. Then trim these.
[09:00] stel
"Trim"?
[09:02] huey
Forget it!
[09:03] huey
Go decorate the room or something.
[09:11] lily
How beautiful!
[09:13] stel
They're artificial, of course.
[09:18] break
You think she came from a
fancy household, after all?
[09:23] lily
I've never thought to ask,
[09:26] lily
and she doesn't seem to
want to talk about it...
[09:46] break
I feel weirdly nervous.
[09:49] gail
Let's skip the pleasantries.
[09:51] gail
To Pierce's release from the hospital.
[09:53] gail
Cheers!
[09:54] all
Cheers!
[09:59] pierce
Amazing. You did all this...
[10:01] break
Of course, it's almost all potatoes.
[10:04] lily
But we worked hard to make it.
[10:06] lily
Huey and all of us.
[10:10] lily
W-Wow. It's so good!
Really, really good!
[10:14] lily
How to put it... it's rich, but not cloying.
[10:19] pier
This is delicious!
[10:20] pier
I know. This is perfect.
[10:23] pier
I've been carrying these around with me.
[10:25] pier
Would you like to try some?
[10:28] stel
What are they?
[10:29] pie
Bugsy beans.
[10:30] pie
They're a local delicacy from my hometown.
[10:32] pie
They're an acquired taste,
[10:34] pie
but they can be quite addictive
once you're used to them.
[10:36] pie
Would you like to try one, Commander?
[10:38] gail
I'm not really a fan of beans...
[10:41] lily
They look delicious!
[10:43] break
Wait. Hang on, I've heard of these beans.
[10:47] break
When we feed these to Royal Army
POWs, they complain about torture!
[10:53] huey
Wh-What the hell is this?!
[10:56] lily
W-Well... that's a local delicacy for you.
[10:59] lily
They're rather... unique.
[11:02] huey
They're gross!
[11:03] guy
Hey, you guys okay?
[11:06] guy
You don't have to force it...
[11:08] huey
Water! I need water!
[11:09] break
Wait!
[11:10] break
If you want to kill the taste, try this.
[11:12] break
It's what we drink in my hometown
after you eat something gross.
[11:15] break
You see...
[11:20] break
It's even more gross, which cancels it out!
[11:21] huey
You ass!
[11:22] huey
You just doubled the grossness!
[11:23] break
That's strange...
[11:26] guy
I told you, you don't need to force it...
[11:31] guy
Don't worry. I'll be filling
your shoes and then some.
[11:35] guy
Head on home without a care.
[11:37] lily
Hey.
[11:38] break
But it'll be nice to be home, huh?
[11:41] pierce
I guess.
[11:42] break
You guess?
[11:43] huey
It never feels nice to get let go.
[11:46] huey
He's getting a discharge
for injury, remember?
[11:48] lily
Still, your family'll be happy to see you.
[11:53] pierce
I'm afraid I was a burden
to them from the start.
[11:56] pierce
You know the saying...
"poor farmers, big families."
[11:58] pierce
I basically joined the military
to be one less mouth to feed.
[12:04] pierce
A long time ago, someone tricked my father
[12:07] pierce
into buying a large shipment of
crop seeds that wouldn't root.
[12:11] pierce
He lost a fortune, and our family
spiraled from there into poverty.
[12:15] huey
What the hell?
[12:16] huey
Don't any of us come from a not-terrible life?
[12:19] guy
What'll you do next?
[12:21] guy
Got a job lined up?
[12:22] pierce
Well... I haven't really decided.
[12:25] gail
Would you like to work at my orphanage, then?
[12:30] lily
Commander, what did you...
[12:33] gail
I run an orphanage. I was asking
if you'd like to help out there.
[12:37] stel
Why do you run an orphanage?
[12:39] gail
Do I need a reason?
[12:42] stel
No...
[12:43] gail
What do you think?
[12:45] pierce
Well...
[12:47] gail
Is that a no?
[12:48] pie
No...
[12:49] pie
Well, it's just so sudden...
[12:53] gail
Think about it, then.
[12:55] gail
Let me know before you go.
[13:06] mon
Excuse me.
[13:10] iza
I'm sure you were told to investigate
if you saw me writing anything down.
[13:15] iza
They're baby names.
[13:16] mon
Baby names?
[13:19] iza
My next will be born soon.
[13:21] iza
But I'm having trouble
thinking up good names...
[13:27] stel
Excuse me, sir.
[13:28] stel
Warrant Officer Break and Huey
went back to their rooms.
[13:32] gail
Guy, too?
[13:33] stel
Yes.
[13:34] stel
He was stumbling drunk, so the Warrant
Officer took him back to his room...
[13:38] stel
Lily took a walk to settle her stomach.
[13:41] stel
She ate too much, she said.
[13:43] gail
I see. You sleep, too.
[13:46] gail
We can clean this all up tomorrow.
[13:48] stel
Yes, sir.
[13:49] stel
Ah... Where's Pierce?
[13:52] stel
He left a little while ago.
[13:55] stel
What did he say?
[13:57] gail
About the orphanage?
[13:59] gail
He hasn't made up his mind yet.
[14:02] stel
I thought it was a wonderful offer, myself.
[14:04] gail
I'm not sure I'd say an
orphanage is wonderful.
[14:08] gail
But I thought he might appreciate it.
[14:12] gail
He said his father once told him...
[14:16] gail
"You're a crop that won't root, too."
[14:21] gail
Apparently he was a bit of a troublemaker.
[14:24] gail
Well, it's a common story for young people,
[14:26] gail
at that age before they've
figured themselves out.
[14:29] gail
But, apparently, those words
cut him pretty deep.
[14:34] gail
"They say I'm like the crops that
brought my family to ruin"...
[14:38] gail
"How could someone like me
ever look after children?"
[14:44] stel
I think he'll be fine.
[14:48] stel
Those who know pain are better
equipped to understand the feelings
[14:54] stel
of children who have suffered.
[14:58] gail
Were you one of those children, too?
[15:08] (Flashback) mom
Come here! Call me Mom!
[15:15] (Flashback) dad
I told you it's not working!
[15:18] (Flashback) dad
It's not working...
[15:19] (Flashback) dad
I don't even know if I'll
be able to keep my job.
[15:22] (Flashback) dad
I don't know if we'll be able to feed her...
[15:24] (Flashback) mom
But you were so happy when she was born!
[15:27] (Flashback) dad
But things have changed since then!
[15:30] (Flashback) dad
If only we hadn't taken that girl in...
[15:42] (Flashback) mom
Are you saying it's not good enough for you?
[15:45] (Flashback) mom
Then wipe that expression off your face.
[15:53] (Flashback) mom
That's right.
[15:55] (Flashback) mom
Just keep smiling.
[15:57] (Flashback) mom
Smiling will get you through anything.
[16:33] gail
The children I'm trying to raise
[16:35] gail
probably aren't the kind
you're thinking about.
[16:39] gail
I don't want to raise weak children
[16:42] gail
who rely on commiseration
to fumble through life.
[16:46] gail
Nor children who lie to themselves and
smile just to placate those around them.
[16:55] gail
Pierce is just looking for reasons to
justify his lack of self-confidence.
[17:01] gail
It's not the flower that decides it
won't root, it's the people around it.
[17:05] gail
Flowers and crops both...
[17:08] gail
They fight with all they have to take
root and survive, don't you think?
[17:13] gail
I'll go to bed, too.
[17:15] gail
Haven't been this drunk in a while.
[17:28] lily
Stella!
[17:31] stel
Lily. And Pierce...
[17:33] lily
I ran into him before.
[17:35] lily
He made me this weird proposal...
[17:37] pie
Well...
[17:38] pie
Please don't say it that way.
She'll get the wrong idea.
[17:42] pie
It's just... this may be a silly
request from a country bumpkin,
[17:47] pie
but I'd like to see the royal palace...
[17:50] stel
The royal palace?
[17:51] stel
But we're technically in...
[17:52] lily
Oh, we know that.
[17:54] lily
But, look!
[17:56] lily
The places the royals actually lived...
[17:58] lily
We rank-and-file aren't
allowed in without leave.
[18:01] pie
If I have to return to the country,
[18:02] pie
I'd like to bring a good story back with me.
[18:05] lily
Want to come, Stella?
[18:06] lily
I'd like to see it myself.
[18:13] stel
Stop.
[18:14] stel
That way!
[18:17] stel
Hide!
[18:29] (Flashback) mom
Smiling will get you through anything.
[18:33] (Flashback) gail
Nor children who lie to themselves and
smile just to placate those around them.
[18:42] lily
Amazing...
[18:44] pie
Yeah, it's amazing.
[18:47] pie
Thanks.
[18:48] pie
This will make a great
story to take back home.
[18:50] stel
Are we done here, then?
[18:52] lily
Seeing as we've come this far,
why not venture further?
[18:57] stel
A greenhouse... in a place like this?
[19:02] lily
It's so beautiful!
[19:08] pie
I've never seen flowers like these before.
[19:11] lily
Are they dead?
[19:14] pie
Flowers that didn't root?
[19:19] stel
But look, they've grown this big.
[19:23] stel
Even if it's hard for them to grow,
[19:26] stel
they still did so,
while someone cared for them.
[19:30] pie
You're right. They might not have had to die.
[19:36] stel
Someone took really good care of them.
[19:39] stel
Someone came and went,
giving them water and love...
[19:45] stel
"It's not the flower that
decides it won't root."
[19:47] stel
"It's the people around it
who are convinced that it won't."
[19:52] stel
The commander told me that.
[19:54] stel
"Flowers and crops both..."
[19:55] stel
"They fight with all they have
to take root and survive."
[20:02] pie
You think the commander's asleep already?
[20:06] stel
Most likely.
[20:08] stel
But he's probably waiting to hear from you.
[20:15] stel
Who put so much love and care into
raising these flowers, and why?
[20:29] sol
You'll be home soon?
[20:32] pie
Yeah.
[20:33] pie
The border will soon be in sight.
[20:36] pie
Then it's just a little bit longer...
[20:46] lily
That can't be true!
[20:48] gail
The transport hover Pierce was in
was attacked near the border.
[20:53] break
Any survivors?
[20:59] lily
But...
[21:01] lily
He was going to stop back home,
then go to your orphanage...
[21:05] lily
He seemed so happy...
[21:07] lily
It's so...
[21:09] lily
It's so...
[21:16] huey
But that's reality for you, isn't it?
[21:20] huey
When a pathetic fool starts to dream,
[21:22] huey
he's just setting himself up for a fall.

At times like these, you can't
do much but smile. Right?

[02:44] lay
When we don't, she withdraws
without hesitation,
[02:47] lay
abandoning land and facilities...
[02:49] lay
...but only after evacuating the
people and resources in advance.
[02:54] lay
As a result, the Imperial Army
continues to expend resources
[02:58] lay
to capture land that gains them nothing.
[03:01] lay
When the Imperial Army withdraws,
we can simply retake that area.

Day in and day out, Princess Yuki
pores over tactical guides,
[03:11] lay
learning how to fight in ways
that best suit her ideals.

James, Margrave Guize
of the State of Chrisant
[03:22] yuki
has submitted a request for aid.
[03:24] james
Oh?
[03:25] yuki
I want you to take Yuni and Lune
on the Excessarca to help them.
[03:30] yuki
We'll incorporate the State of Chrisant
into our planning from here on out.
[03:34] james
Didn't Margrave Guize say he
would never serve a princess
[03:39] james
who abandoned her people
and fled the palace?
[03:43] yuki
He was just trying to
fulfill his obligations.
[03:46] yuki
And it is true that I fled the palace.
[03:52] james
Very well.
[03:54] james
We'll set course for the State of Chrisant.
[03:57] yuki
Thank you.
[04:04] lay
Maintain your presence, even here.
[04:06] yuki
Sorry!
[04:08] har
Your Highness.
[04:12] har
I have returned.
[04:14] yuki
Welcome back, Harold.
[04:17] har
Could I have a moment of your time?
[04:21] har
We are working swiftly to increase
production and installation of the new chrars.
[04:25] har
I believe we should strike
the moment they're ready.
[04:29] har
Your Highness, no matter
how long we hold out here,
[04:32] har
they will never give up.
[04:35] har
The nature of war is that it does not end
[04:38] har
until one side achieves its objectives.
[04:43] yuki
Maybe not, but...
[04:45] har
I will do all I can to maintain
morale on all fronts.
[04:51] har
In the meantime,
please consider what I've said.

Advisor Langford.
[05:24] iza
You honor me with your presence.
[05:26] eine
Don't take this personally.
[05:28] eine
I've received word that those who've
lost patience with the deadlock
[05:33] eine
are hoping to send a message with your death.
[05:37] eine
I'll have you transferred to
the motherland in a few days.
[05:40] eine
Until then, I'll be keeping
you isolated here.
[05:44] iza
Understandable. I've been a
completely worthless prisoner.
[05:47] iza
But despite it all, I'm glad
to have been brought here.
[05:52] eine
What exactly do you mean by that?
[05:55] iza
I've guided countless guests
to these quarters before,
[05:58] iza
but I've never been able to use them myself.
[06:02] eine
If you could give us just one
useful piece of information,
[06:06] eine
they'd lose the backing for
their hardline approach.
[06:09] iza
I'm afraid I lack any such resource.
[06:15] eine
You'll be taken to the homeland the
moment preparations are finished.
[06:18] eine
Do try to make your last days
in your homeland worthwhile.
[06:32] noel
I hope the baby will come soon!

Your father did the same thing
when I was pregnant with you.

No way!

You know? It's really
hard to cut it like this!
[07:34] eli
P-Princess Yuki, please allow me...
[07:36] yuki
No! I said we'd make it today!
[07:39] yuki
You need to relax, Elisa!

Yeah, Mom! You gotta do

So good!
[08:00] yuki
Miss Layla came up with the dishes.
[08:03] yuki
She said it's important that you
eat a balanced meal at this stage.
[08:08] lay
It would have turned out better if we
could grow vegetables more reliably...
[08:13] yuki
I never knew about it either...
[08:15] yuki
Apparently, the crops haven't been
growing well these last few years...
[08:19] eli
That's right. Izana has had concerns
about that for some time, as well.
[08:23] lay
Yes.
[08:24] lay
He said we needed the new chrars
to increase crop productivity.
[08:30] yuki
I see. Izana said that?
[08:32] noel
When Dad gets back, I'll tell him
I made dinner with Princess Yuki!
[08:38] noel
He'll be so surprised!
[08:40] noel
Right?
[08:40] eli
Yes, that's right.
[08:45] eli
I'm sure he'll be fine.
[08:48] eli
He's much tougher than he looks.
[08:57] yuki
Getting Izana back is another reason
we need to stop the war soon.
[09:02] yuki
I understand what Harold is saying...
[09:04] yuki
but I'd like to avoid any more sacrifices.
[09:07] yuki
On their side, and on ours.
[09:10] yuki
Also...
[09:16] yuki
Miss Layla, the day we left the palace...
[09:20] yuki
That recording you showed me
from twelve years ago...
[09:22] yuki
I can't stop thinking about it.
[09:25] (Flashback) yuki
Izana left this for me?
[09:27] (Flashback) lay
Yes. He said it was time
for you to know the truth.
[09:33] fb
Who are you?
[09:35] fb
We've planted bombs in
the hall and on the device.
[09:38] fb
I don't want to take innocent lives.
[09:40] fb
Dismantle the new chrars.
[09:42] fb
That power doesn't belong in this world!
[09:46] (Flashback) yuki
What does it mean?
[09:48] (Flashback) yuki
You mean my parents didn't
die in an accident?
[09:55] yuki
The ones who attacked during the ceremony
[09:57] yuki
were survivors of the old Empire of Verde.
[10:01] lay
Yes.
[10:02] lay
It seems that even before the incident,
[10:04] lay
they had been protesting the
very existence of chrars.
[10:07] lay
But Soleil and Grandiga
did not share their views.
[10:12] lay
That tragedy was the result.
[10:15] yuki
But none of you... not you,
not Harold, nor Izana...
[10:19] yuki
were told why they objected.
[10:22] yuki
Why did the Empire of Verde
hate the new chrars so much?

You can acquire data from live combat.
[11:15] eine
Very well.

But first, please give me one more chance.
[11:20] eine
I will defeat the Kingdom
without using the new chrars.
[11:25] emp
Chief of Staff Eine Fleet,
[11:27] emp
is your reluctance to use the new chrars
[11:31] emp
the result of reviewing the
Empire of Verde's research?
[11:35] iza
The Empire of Verde?
[11:47] har
How many can we install right now?
[11:50] man
Twenty-four.
[11:52] har
Hurry.
[11:53] har
I want our preparations to be perfect.
[11:59] ope
Urgent message from recon squad.
[12:01] ope
The Imperial Army at the palace
is showing signs of movement.
[12:05] har
Understood.
[12:06] har
I'll return to headquarters at once.
[12:09] har
Our recon squad reports five enemy
carriers in port at the palace.
[12:14] har
They're probably about to send a large force.
[12:17] har
Their target will be one of
these as-yet unoccupied states:
[12:21] har
North Robia or Theras.
[12:24] yuki
What's the status of the Excessarca?
[12:26] ope
Still in the State of Chrisant,
fighting alongside Margrave Guize's army.
[12:31] yuki
I see.
[12:33] har
I have twenty-four Gards equipped
with new chrars heading our way.
[12:39] har
We should muster our forces
and meet them in battle.
[12:43] yuki
No.
[12:44] yuki
We'll continue our current strategy.
[12:47] yuki
They outnumber us too greatly.
[12:49] yuki
Prepare for withdrawal.
[12:51] har
Losing either of those states will make it
harder to hold off an attack on this city!
[12:57] yuki
That doesn't matter.
[12:59] yuki
As long as our people are safe,
[13:00] yuki
there will always be another opportunity.
[13:02] har
Your Highness!
[13:03] yuki
I will not change my plan!
[13:06] yuki
Contact the armies in both states covertly.
[13:09] yuki
Have them ready to move people
and resources at any time.

[13:46] ope
Yes, ma'am!
[13:47] ope
I'll have them mobilize at once!
[13:56] iza
Excuse me. Could I ask your opinion?
[14:01] iza
It's about baby names.
[14:02] iza
I've narrowed it down to two,
[14:04] iza
but I can't seem to decide.
[14:26] ope
Our forces will reach the State
of Theras border momentarily.

Five enemy carriers have arrived on the
border to the State of North Robia.

Princess Yuki! Message from an enemy ship!

[14:57] eine
and your ability to inspire
loyalty in your people.
[15:03] yuki
Is this the only reason you called me?
[15:06] eine
I wish to ask you one thing:
[15:08] eine
would you agree to surrender?
[15:11] eine
If you surrender now,
[15:13] eine
we can put an end to all of this
without further loss of life.
[15:20] yuki
Twelve years ago,
[15:21] yuki
the Empire of Verde resorted to terrorism
[15:23] yuki
to keep the new chrars from being used.
[15:26] yuki
Does your empire know why?
[15:30] yuki
I see that you do.
[15:34] yuki
If we surrender now, will you
guarantee the safety of my people,
[15:38] yuki
and the release of information
about the Empire of Verde?
[15:44] eine
I will guarantee the former,
[15:47] eine
but on the latter, I refuse.
[15:50] yuki
Then I cannot agree to surrender.
[15:55] eine
A pity.
[15:57] eine
Then you should have focused less on that,
[15:58] eine
and more on your brethren
just outside my front door.
[16:04] ope
Message from the recon squad in Theras.
[16:07] ope
Enemy ships and theurgears in large
numbers are approaching from Rothea!
[16:10] ope
It looks like an ambush!
[16:12] har
They anticipated our movements?
[16:42] iza
Of course... no time to keep eyes
on a prisoner who's past usefulness.
[17:12] ope
Urgent message! It's from
Yuni Vanquish of the Order!
[17:17] yuni
Princess Yuki.
[17:18] yuki
Yuni! Where are you?
[17:20] yuni
Near the border between Rothea and Theras.
[17:23] yuni
After we finished our mission,
[17:26] yuni
we heard about the situation there,
and we went on ahead of the Excessarca.
[17:29] lune
Our forces are surrounded
about 300 meters away.
[17:34] yuki
Lune, do you know if they're all right?
[17:37] lune
According to communications
recon intercepted,
[17:39] lune
they've been completely wiped out.
[17:44] har
Your Highness!
[17:45] yuki
I know...
[17:49] yuki
I'm sorry. I'm all right.
[17:53] lune
Princess Yuki, recon picked up
one more piece of information.
[17:58] lune
Their chief of staff, Eine Fleet,
is in the ship ahead of us.
[18:03] lune
We could catch them by surprise right now.
[18:05] lune
I'm positive we could take that ship down.
[18:08] yuki
But... if you do that...
[18:10] yuni
We'd gladly give our lives to
punch the Empire in the nose.
[18:13] yuki
You can't!
[18:15] yuni
Princess Yuki.
[18:17] yuni
Losing their chief of staff will
be a massive blow to their army.
[18:21] yuni
Let us do this!
[18:23] yuki
I said no!
[18:25] har
Princess, now is the time
to do what is necessary!
[18:28] yuki
We can't afford to lose
any more of our people!

After all this, you're still saying that?!

This is the only way I can do things!

Well done. Keep the pressure

How goes the increased
production of the new chrars?
[04:20] har
We're going as fast as we can.
[04:21] har
On top of that, I have good news.
[04:23] har
We've discovered that improving
the placement of the new chrars
[04:28] har
allows for far better output than before.
[04:32] har
Using this in mobile artillery
[04:33] har

greater distances than ever before.
[04:37] sen
Excellent!

But only if it doesn't cause
unnecessary deaths on their side.
[05:08] har
Princess Yuki, have you forgotten
what happened the other day?
[05:12] har
The Empire set an ambush
for our withdrawing forces
[05:16] har
and attacked them mercilessly.
[05:18] har
As a result, the deaths
were solely on our side.
[05:21] har
"Treasure all lives, whether friend or foe."
[05:25] har
It's a beautiful ideal, in principle.
[05:28] har
But it's not realistic.
[05:31] har
War cannot be whitewashed so easily.
[05:33] yuki
I will not argue with you in that regard.
[05:36] yuki
But the new chrars are another story.
[05:41] yuki
Those assembled should be familiar by now
[05:43] yuki
with the contents of the data Izana sent us.
[05:46] yuki
Yet you continue to manufacture new chrars—
[05:49] har
We do.
[05:51] har
We have no other choice.
[05:59] yuki
I don't believe it.
[06:01] yuki
How could they ever face Izana after this?
[06:05] lay
According to the research data
the Empire was concealing,
[06:08] lay
the scientists of the Empire of
Verde had independently realized
[06:11] lay
the chrars' negative impact
on the environment.
[06:15] lay
It would happen over the course
of a millennium or two...
[06:18] lay
But if we kept using chrars, the planet's soil
would eventually turn barren.
[06:23] lay
The Empire of Verde perceived the new chrars,
[06:26] lay
which would hasten that
process, as dangerous.
[06:30] lay
That perception eventually led to the
terrorist act of twelve years ago.
[06:34] yuki
Do you think Mother and Father knew?
[06:38] lay
I suspect that Verde first
tried amicably to inform
[06:42] lay
both sides about the danger of the chrars.
[06:46] lay
But the information never
reached the royal couple.
[06:51] lay
Somebody smothered it.
[06:54] lay
Them, most likely.
[06:57] lay
Grandiga also suppressed the information.
[07:00] lay
The Empire of Verde fell,
[07:03] lay
and the survivors perpetrated
that act of terrorism,
[07:07] lay
killing the royal couple,
and many others, in the process...
[07:12] yuki
Miss Layla... did you lose...
someone important to you, then?
[07:18] yuki
I just had a feeling...

I guess you don't want to tell me about it...
[07:26] lay
Princess Yuki...
[07:29] yuki
And so, Miss Layla told me everything.
[07:34] yuki
How she was caught up in the
same incident my parents were,
[07:37] yuki
and lost everything...
[07:39] yuki
How she didn't feel like
returning to the Empire...
[07:42] yuki
and with Izana's help, started a new life...
[07:48] lay
Princess Yuki, I have a favor to ask you.
[07:52] lay
As a former chrars researcher,
[07:55] lay
there is something about the information
Lord Izana left us that concerns me.
[07:59] lay
Could I have time to analyze it?
[08:01] yuki
Yes. Please do.
[08:06] yuki
The Royal Army mass-produced the new chrars,
[08:09] yuki
and managed to keep the
Imperial Army at bay...
[08:12] yuki
The war fell into a stalemate again.
[08:15] yuki
Casualties between the two
armies exceeded 300,000.
[08:28] yuki
Winter will come soon...
[08:30] yuki
What will happen to these children
if we can't get enough food?
[08:39] yuki
Then one day, as autumn neared its end...
[08:43] har
It is now about 90% complete.
[08:46] har
The Excessarca is expected to
collect the parts tomorrow morning
[08:49] har
to carry them to the front line.
[08:52] har
What brings you here today?
[08:54] lay
Could I use one of the new
chrars test facilities?
[08:58] lay
I only require an hour.
[09:00] har
If you wish.
[09:01] yuki
Thank you. Let's go.
[09:04] har
Wait a minute.
[09:06] har
I'll show you the way.
[09:12] har
What's in there?
[09:14] lay
You'll see soon enough.
[09:34] yuki
Miss Layla, what are those?
[09:37] lay
Microscopic mechanisms found
in our planet's atmosphere.
[09:41] lay
Ancient nanomachines.
[09:44] lay
The data Lord Izana sent
allowed me to identify them.
[09:48] lay
It's my first time seeing
them this way, as well, but...
[09:53] lay
These nanomachines were released
[09:55] lay
by our ancestors to terraform the planet.
[09:59] lay
These self-replicating nanomachines
dissolved into the atmosphere,
[10:02] lay
became part of its composition,
[10:03] lay
and rendered the planet
capable of sustaining life.
[10:07] lay
But as generations passed from
the initial immigration,
[10:10] lay
the knowledge and technology were lost.
[10:16] lay
In time, something unexpected happened...
[10:19] lay
A mineral unique to this planet,
the chrarslapis, was discovered.
[10:24] lay
This revolutionary mineral provided
limitless clean energy...
[10:28] lay
But the idea of something coming
from nothing is pure fantasy.
[10:33] lay
They should have questioned
it from the start.
[10:36] lay
By coincidence, the chrars had a natural
resonance with the nanomachines.
[10:41] lay
The energy that seemed to
be produced by the chrars
[10:44] lay
was actually the energy that
powered the nanomachines,
[10:46] lay
extracted through that resonance.
[10:50] lay
In effect, the chrars are
draining the nanomachines.
[10:56] lay
With continued usage, as you can see,
the nanomachines begin to die out...
[11:01] har
...And the planet's environment degrades.
[11:04] har
You're saying the Empire
of Verde realized that?
[11:10] yuki
Miss Layla!
[11:11] lay
I'm almost finished.
[11:12] lay
Try not to look directly at the light.
[11:23] lay
Do not worry.
[11:24] lay
The experiment was a success.
[11:27] lay
Continuous overburdening of a new chrars
[11:32] lay
shut down its resonance
with the nanomachines.
[11:36] har
Are you saying...
[11:38] lay
Yes. The chrars lost its ability to
channel energy from the nanomachines.
[11:44] lay
The result is all around you.
[11:46] har
I see...
[11:48] har
It would be impossible to keep
fighting under such circumstances.
[11:52] har
It's the greatest weapon I've ever seen.
[11:55] har
If we turned this on the Imperial Army,
[11:57] har
the Kingdom could end the war victorious!
[12:06] knight
90% of our energy supply has been disrupted.
[12:08] knight
The security system remains down, as well.
[12:11] har
Maintain maximum vigilance
with the naked eye.
[12:13] har
Let me know the moment the
Excessarca is in sight.
[12:17] man
Yes, sir.
[12:18] op
Uncertainty is spreading among the staff.
[12:21] op
It's late in the season,
and we'll need ways to keep warm...
[12:24] har
Distribute emergency rations.
[12:26] har
Camping will be permitted within
200 meters of the facility.
[12:29] har
Tell the heads of each department
to keep a firm hand on their staff.
[12:36] yuki
Miss Layla, how long will
things be like this?
[12:39] lay
I believe power will be restored by dawn.
[12:42] lay
Forgive me.
[12:43] lay
I didn't expect it to
affect such a wide area...
[12:47] lay
My simulations had it limited
to ten meters of the experi—
[12:58] lay
Ouch!
[13:00] yu
What was that sound she just made?
[13:04] har
Not used to keeping a fire?
[13:07] har
Another lifelong city dweller, I see...
[13:09] har
I'll take over.
[13:10] har
Camping's something I can handle.
[13:16] har
It's getting colder...
[13:18] har
You've really done it to us this time.
[13:22] lay
The fire is going out.
[13:29] yuki
It's nice and warm...
[13:32] yuki
Maybe...
[13:33] yuki
if we could all live together
like this... war wouldn't even...
[13:39] lay
According to the records, our ancestors
did live like this, long ago.
[13:46] lay
Our home planet did not have chrars,
[13:50] lay
and before civilization developed,
[13:53] lay
they must have spent a long time
living just such simple lives.
[13:57] yuki
Then, you think we could—
[13:58] har
It's a fantasy.
[14:00] yuki
Harold?
[14:02] har
The loss of chrars would lead to a
scramble for resources just to survive.
[14:07] har
If we didn't have weapons, we'd just
kill each other with our bare hands.
[14:10] yuki
B-But...
[14:11] yuki
Don't you remember the research
from the Empire of Verde?
[14:14] yuki
If we keep using the new chrars...
[14:16] har
The immediate danger must
be dealt with first.
[14:18] har
If we fail to win this war,
the Kingdom will fall.
[14:22] har
Your beloved people will die out.
[14:26] har
But if we use this against the enemy,
[14:28] har
it could prove extremely useful.
[14:29] lay
I'm sorry to inform you,
[14:31] lay
but it cannot be used as a weapon.
[14:34] lay
Neither we nor the Empire have the technology
[14:37] lay
to make the phenomenon occur
in a given location at will.
[14:42] lay
I'm very sorry to disappoint you.
[14:47] har
All right, I get the gist.
[14:49] har
Try to keep the princess warm.
[14:52] lay
Yes, sir.
[15:01] har
It really is a fantasy...
[15:04] har
But...
[15:05] har
If not for these things, Izana...
[15:08] har
You and she might never
have lost your lives...
[15:14] har
Losing and taking...
[15:16] har
Is that cycle all there is, in the end?
[15:20] har
In terms of what I can do...
[15:31] james
I heard everything.
[15:32] james
Quite a mess you had to
deal with yesterday, eh?
[15:35] james
Izana left you one hell of a souvenir.
[15:39] har
Yes...
[15:41] james
What happened with Izana
isn't solely your fault.
[15:44] james
You shouldn't beat yourself up too much.
[15:46] james
We can't afford to lose
any more of our people.
[15:48] har
That's quite a tone to take
with your Grand Master.
[15:52] james
I feel the same way.
[15:53] james
When did that boy I watched sweat
bullets in his first deployment
[15:56] james
start talking like he's a real man?
[16:03] lay
I'm told the Excessarca
will set out this evening.
[16:06] lay
It's going to be carrying the new artillery.
[16:09] yuki
I see...
[16:12] yuki
Miss Layla, I want to ask you something.
[16:17] james
That's all of it.
[16:19] har
We're counting on you.
[16:25] aud
That's the end of it.
[16:26] aud
It's only a matter of time
before the Imperial Army
[16:29] aud
breaks the defense line and arrives here.
[16:30] har
How goes the loading of the mobile artillery?
[16:32] jona
Ten minutes to completion.
[16:36] har
The moment it's done,
head for State Capital Edinell.
[16:39] har
Take Princess Yuki and get out of here.
[16:43] har
Retrieve all the chrars research
materials from the facility.
[16:46] har
Get as many of the workers
on board as you can, as well.
[16:49] har
Out of the Order machines,
the Monocherous Unit alone will remain.
[16:52] har
I'll take command and buy
time for you to escape.
[16:56] james
Understood. And the twins?
[16:58] har
I'm leaving them to guard the ship.
[17:00] lune
You can't...
[17:00] yuni
Master! Allow us to join you!
[17:04] har
You'll keep Princess Yuki safe.
[17:06] har
That's an order.
[17:09] yuki
No! You need to come with us!
[17:12] har
Your life comes first, Your Highness.
[17:23] yuki
Harold!
[17:30] har
Don't look at me that way.
[17:32] har
You need to be stronger than this.
[17:35] yuki
But...
[17:36] har
We can't afford to stand still now.
[17:39] har
The Empire won't be able to maintain
this war of attrition much longer.
[17:43] har
They'll be struggling to end things quickly.
[17:46] har
Princess Yuki, I apologize for the
many times I've disobeyed you.
[17:51] har
It was the only way I knew
to protect the Kingdom.
[17:59] har
Princess Yuki, if you truly care
about your country and your people,
[18:04] har
the time has come for you to make choices,
[18:06] har
no matter how difficult
and painful they may be.
[18:09] har
As their leader, you do not
have time to stand still.
[18:14] har
Walk forward, I ask you.
[18:23] yuki
Harold...
[18:25] har
I will hold the road behind you.
[18:57] mono
Traps activated!
[18:59] har
I think we might just buy them a little time.
[19:01] mono
Yes, sir.
[19:02] mono
Let's go out there, guns blazing,
and hold their attention.
[19:06] har
I'm sorry to make you join me here.
[19:08] mono
Not at all.
[19:09] mono
Any knight would be honored
to serve as rear guard.
[19:13] har
Indeed.

"Maintenance will have us up all night."

Yes.

Warrant Officer Break and
Guy have their nice sides.

family has their black sheep!

think of this squad as your place!

We'll meet up with an assault carrier
120 kilometers to the south,
[11:57] gail
just outside the State of Leo Tacrath.
[11:59] gail
We'll assault a Royal Army facility,
to either secure it or destroy it.

Another tough one...

We'll set out at 0630 hours.

At times like these, you can't

It'll take about two hours,

Of course, you'll be helping me, Stella.

It's rare to see you make
a mistake like this.

I'm sorry.
[13:11] gail
Well, there's nothing wrong
with showing a little humanity.
[13:16] stel
Humanity?
[13:18] gail
In a way, the battlefield is
[13:20] gail
where a person most clearly
shows their true nature.
[13:24] gail
On the front lines, the toughest man you know
[13:26] gail
might end up a shrieking, terrified wreck.
[13:30] gail
They can try to keep their calm like you,

I'm not... trying to put up a front.

I'm not sure if this way

Do you think the children we met
[14:19] stel
will be able to stay like that forever?

It's a tough question.

It seems impossible for that old
couple to take care of them alone.
[14:27] gail
There are many places exactly like that.
[14:30] gail
We're limited in what we can do for them,
[14:33] gail
but something is better than nothing.

Is that why you run an orphanage?
[14:39] gail
You saw the pictures, right?
[14:41] gail
I have kids like that in my orphanage, too.
[14:43] gail
Kids who can't draw anything
but bloody battle scenes.
[14:50] gail
We're the ones creating kids like that,
[14:54] gail
so we have a responsibility
to see them through this.
[14:57] gail
Until the time comes when we can show them
a different world, a different future...
[15:04] gail
Hey, focus on your driving, will you?

Don't you space out and
crash into something again.

it should raise the soldiers' morale.

I can't believe Miss Layla

[12:17] (Flashback) yuki
Miss Layla, I've thought over again and again
[12:22] (Flashback) yuki
that we should surrender to
the Empire and end the war.
[12:27] (Flashback) yuki
But... even if we end this particular war,
[12:31] (Flashback) yuki
the same thing will happen again someday.
[12:35] (Flashback) yuki
No... an even bigger war will take place,

An experimental facility?
[13:26] (Flashback) lay
The scientists of Verde once
had the same idea you did.
[13:32] (Flashback) lay
They constructed a facility
to put it into practice.
[13:37] (Flashback) lay
At the time, they couldn't
achieve their theorized result.
[13:43] (Flashback) lay
But with the technology we have
now, it might become possible.
[13:50] (Flashback) yuki
Miss Layla. Help me.
[13:59] yuki
Let's go over the plan one more time.
[14:02] yuki
First, in accordance with my declaration,
[14:05] yuki
James will head towards Hariant with the
main force and the mobile artillery.
[14:10] yuki
You should encounter the enemy
somewhere in the State of North Robia.
[14:14] yuki
Once they're in sight,
[14:15] yuki
use the mobile artillery's range to fire
a warning shot at their front line.
[14:19] yuki
That will hold them in place.
[14:22] yuki
Avoid an exchange of fire for as
long as you can, and buy us time.
[14:26] yuki
If the enemy commander
knows what they're doing,
[14:28] yuki
a display of power like that
should give them pause.
[14:34] yuki
But if they realize it's a
hastily-prepared prototype...
[14:38] james
Please.
[14:39] james
I've bluffed them on the
battlefield enough times before.
[14:43] james
I'll make sure it works out.
[14:47] yuki
In the meantime, Miss Layla and I
[14:50] yuki
will slip through the State of Theras,
then the State of Chrisant,
[14:53] yuki
on the way to old Verde Empire territory.
[14:56] yuki
To keep a low profile, our guard will
be Yuni and Lune, and one other squad.
[15:02] yuki
When we arrive at the experimental facility...
[15:05] yuki
Then...
[15:15] lune
Princess Yuki, I'm sure it will go well.
[15:18] yuni
"Passion and will!" Right?
[15:29] lay
You would not prefer to give it more time?
[15:33] yuki
No... because I don't know
if I'll ever make it back.
[15:39] yuki
Elisa is holding off, because I
said I would tell her myself...
[15:47] noel
Princess Yuki, you're not
here to eat dinner today?

When I lost my family in the
accident twelve years ago,
[18:56] lay
I was assailed by unfathomable loneliness.
[19:00] yuki
Miss Layla...
[19:02] lay
Even now, sometimes, when I look at you,
[19:04] lay
I'm reminded of my daughter.
[19:07] yuki
Your daughter?
[19:09] lay
She was kind, and smiled, just like you.
[19:21] yuki
Miss Layla... how did you get
past the fear you felt then?
[19:27] lay
Your smile, Princess Yuki.
[19:43] lay
Your smile has a mysterious power.
[19:47] lay
That power that envelops
people... it saved me.
[19:54] lay
And that's when I decided...
[19:56] lay
that no matter what happened, I would
remain by that smile to the end.
[20:03] yuki
Miss Layla...
[20:05] lay
If all the chrars are shut down,
[20:07] lay
the people will face
hardship like never before.
[20:11] lay
That's when your role will truly begin.
[20:20] yuki
I will make my kingdom...
[20:25] yuki
I will make everyone on this planet smile!
[20:33] lay
Yuki.
[20:38] yuki
If Mother had lived, do you think
she would have done this for me?
[20:43] lay
Of course.
[20:52] yuni
Enemy approaching from eight o'clock!
[20:54] yuni
We're being pursued!
[22:34] lily
They're not the Order.
[22:35] lily
A margrave army, maybe?
[22:37] guy
You think they're deserting?
[22:39] guy
That's old Verde territory ahead...
[22:42] lily
We can't let them escape!
[22:49] lune
I guess we can't shake them off.
[22:51] guard
You go on. We'll hold them off.
[22:54] lune
Thank you. Yuni?
[22:56] yuni
Understood. I'll be on standby.
[23:01] yuni
Princess Yuki.
[23:03] yuni
Get away from the window.
[23:05] yuki
O-Okay.
[23:11] lily
Hey. Wasn't that...
[23:16] guy
Damn it!

Lune, what's our position?

Ninety kilometers to the

If we manage to shake them off, we can
reach our destination by midnight.
[02:34] yuki
I see...
[02:36] yuki
Increase our speed to maximum.
[02:38] yuki
We need to get there as quickly as possible.
[02:44] lily
I'm sorry.

We were hoping to capture a
pilot for questioning, but...
[02:50] guy
They were fighting tooth and nail,
[02:51] guy
so we couldn't hold back, either...
[02:53] guy
The result is plain to see.
[02:55] break
Why would they be so desperate?
[02:57] break
It's odd behavior for a rural squadron...
[02:59] lily
Hey... what do you think of this?
[03:03] huey
Hey! This is...
[03:09] stel
Yuki Soleil, Princess of
the Kingdom of Soleil.
[03:12] stel
I'm sure of it.
[03:14] huey
But why?
[03:15] huey
Shouldn't the princess be leading
the big face-off right now?
[03:18] guy
You think she's abandoning her people?
[03:21] lily
If so, it's unforgivable!
[03:23] lily
Doesn't she care at all about
the soldiers on the front lines?
[03:29] break
Anyway, I'll make the report.
[03:38] eine
What's that? Yuki Soleil?
[03:40] aide
Yes.
[03:41] aide
The data analyst says it's
extremely likely to be her.
[03:47] eine
Where was she sighted?
[03:49] aide
Put it on.
[03:53] eine
That region...
[03:54] eine
Going north would take them to the
experimental facility in the Empire of Verde.
[03:59] aide
Indeed.
[04:00] eine
If it really could shut down chrars at will,
[04:04] eine
its military value would be incalculable.
[04:06] eine
That is why our empire did
not dismantle the facility.
[04:11] aide
At the emperor's command, of course.
[04:14] eine
If the Kingdom has the
technology to activate it,
[04:19] eine
and they're able to stop
only our army's chrars...
[04:24] aide
The tide would be turned immediately.
[04:27] eine
Form a dragnet.
[04:29] eine
Find the princess at any cost.
[04:32] aide
Yes, ma'am.
[04:33] eine
Contact all forces.
[04:34] eine
Begin the full-scale offensive!
[04:42] james
That's all the time we'll
be buying, I suppose...
[04:44] james
Return fire!
[04:45] james
They have an overwhelming material advantage.
[04:47] james
Don't engage them head-on!
Draw out the fighting as long as you can!
[04:50] crew
Sir!
[05:02] guy
Is the main battle still going?
[05:05] huey
Yeah, it's been four hours now.
[05:08] guy
The Kingdom's really hanging in there, huh?
[05:11] lily
Here and here...
[05:13] lily
And this is the last place
a sighting was reported.
[05:16] stel
All their theurgears have been destroyed.
[05:18] stel
The last image is just the two vehicles.
[05:21] lily
So they didn't bring any other squads?
[05:23] lily
Pretty light guard for a
princess, don't you think?
[05:27] break
I just got our orders.
[05:29] break
We're to go north and enter the
old Empire of Verde territory.
[05:34] huey
But there's nothing up there!

Break's over! Let's go.
[05:41] huey
Hey.

This is...
[05:46] huey
I just happened to find it.
[05:48] huey
It's like a good luck charm for you, right?

Not good to be without it...

Lune here. Nothing in the area.
[06:13] yuni
Roger. Stay on guard there.

This is the Empire of Verde's
experimental facility.
[06:23] lay
I don't see any damage.
[06:26] lay
It might just...
[06:32] lay
We're hooking up the new chrars units.
[06:36] lay
Based on the data Lord Izana sent us,
[06:38] lay
I matched the unit model to the old
Imperial standard before we left.
[06:45] lay
It should finally let the facility
execute its original purpose.
[06:49] yuki
Miss Layla... you really
were a chrars researcher...
[06:54] lay
It's ironic.
[06:56] lay
I thought I'd forgotten all of this.

No, we're all going to charge in at once.

"Stop the princess, even if
it costs you your lives."

Why?!

Come with me, Miss Layla!

Go.

It's no use.
[10:02] lay
The entire facility is powered now.
[10:06] stel
What are you people doing—
[10:18] lay
This facility can shut down chrars at will.
[10:23] lay
If we shut down the chrars,
[10:26] lay
our civilization's weapons will
all become worthless scrap.
[10:32] lay
That is what our ruler, Princess Yuki, wants.
[10:37] stel
What the princess wants?
[10:39] stel
It seems unbelievable...
but if what she's saying is true...
[10:44] stel
Is she going to use that power
to destroy the Imperial Army?
[10:50] stel
That would explain the
chief of staff's order...
[10:55] lay
Princess Yuki merely wishes to end the war.
[10:58] lay
Even if it means earning the world's censure,
[11:01] lay
she is prepared to see through her ideals.

Then it's true...

Imperial soldier.

terrible sights on the battlefield.

strong, she is still a child.

You, who have such kind eyes...

You're late, Miss Layla—

Where's Miss Layla?

Did you see her in the room downstairs?
[13:56] yuki
She's important to me!

The ceiling came down, and for some reason...
[14:08] stel

Are you planning to destroy
our Imperial Army?
[14:25] yuki
Did Miss Layla tell you that?
[14:29] yuki
Yes. But I'm not doing
it to defeat the Empire.
[14:32] yuki
I want to disable all of the world's weapons,
[14:36] yuki
so that we'll never have war again.
[14:41] yuki
I've seen so much of it...
[14:43] yuki
People dying because of me...
[14:47] yuki
People dying for me...
[14:51] yuki
I never want it to happen again.
[14:54] yuki
So I...
[14:57] stel
Even if you do get rid of the weapons,
[14:59] stel
the same thing will happen again.
[15:01] stel
People will kill each other.
[15:03] yuki
But if we don't do anything,
[15:06] yuki
more and more people will
die because of the chrars!
[15:09] yuki
It's not right!
[15:12] yuki
I know. I know it's not that simple,
[15:15] yuki
but I want to believe...
that humans are good.
[15:22] yuki
That they can stop fighting
and live together, smiling.
[15:28] stel
That's just what someone
raised in a palace would say.
[15:33] stel
I can't go along with it.
[15:36] stel
What would a princess know about our lives?
[15:39] stel
About the people forced to spend
their lives crawling in the dirt?
[15:43] stel
Stop the chrars, you say?
[15:46] stel
That's going to shut down
more than the weapons!
[15:49] stel
It'll mean losing all the energy
we need to live our lives!
[15:52] stel
Not everyone can endure a life like that!
[15:55] stel
Things will get harder than they are now!
[15:58] yuki
But it's better than losing
more people we care about!
[16:06] stel
I don't want to admit it.
[16:11] stel
But...
[16:13] stel
somewhere in my heart, I've been
thinking the same thing as her...
[16:18] (Flashback) fb
Please help her... Help Yuki.
[16:31] yuki
With passion and will, we can do anything.
[16:35] yuki
That's something...
someone I loved always said to me.
[16:40] yuki
I don't care if everyone
in the world hates me.
[16:43] yuki
I... I still...
[16:55] stel
What do I do? To make a world...
[16:58] stel
A world where they don't have to fight...
Where they can smile...
[17:04] stel
If it's really possible to
make something like that...
[17:14] stel
This will really shut them down?
[17:17] yuki
Why...
[17:18] stel
The person I owe my life to
said something to me, too:
[17:21] stel
"See them through."
[17:24] stel
I think I'll take my chances
[17:26] stel
to see what kind of future you'll bring us.
[17:30] stel
I'll be court-martialed
for this, to be sure...
[17:32] yuki
What's your name?

Please sign the terms of armistice.

Summer has come.

The shutdown of the chrars

But the world is still in chaos.
[21:19] yuki
The people who escaped Hariant are
gradually returning to the city.
[21:25] stel
The members of the Buerger Squad

[21:34] yuni
We've received a request from the Empire.
[21:37] yuni
They're asking if we have any documents
left from the migration era,
[21:39] yuni
and if we can make them public.
[21:41] lune
It's certainly tempting to go back
to pre-chrars technology, but...
[21:45] james
We must be as careful as possible.
[21:47] james
We can't afford to make
the same mistakes again.

Please, watch over us, everyone.
